Housing for People with Disabilities Provision
264. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the status of the building of new accommodation at a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21053/19]
View answerMy Department issued Stage 3 pre-tender approval in November 2018 for a proposal under the Capital Assistance scheme to provide accommodation for persons with a disability adjacent to the school referred to. The proposal will involve the redevelopment of a property previously used as a day care facility, to provide a five bedroomed unit to permanently accommodate four residents and a caretaker.
It is now a matter for the Approved Housing Body, the Saint John of God Housing Association, to progress the project to tender.
