334. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question No. 138 of 9 September 2020, when funding for a development (details supplied) will be approved; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44852/20]
View answerOn 6 August 2020, my Department received an application for funding under the Capital Assistance Scheme from Dublin City Council (DCC) for the scheme referred to by the Deputy.
In order to assess the application further, on 27 August 2020 my Department requested additional information including a capital appraisal, cost plans and a detailed design from DCC in relation to the design of the scheme. This information was received on 20 November 2020.
On 7 January last my Department issued a combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 approval to DCC for this project to proceed. As planning permission has already been granted, the Approved Housing Body concerned can now proceed with preparing tender documentation in compliance with the Capital Works Management Framework process.
