View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 148 and 149 together.
The details of payments made by Dublin City Council (DCC) to the receivers with regard to the vacant 58 units at Prospect Hill are a matter for DCC.
DCC has advised my Department that a scope of works exercise is currently underway to refurbish these apartments with a view to going to tender in Q2 2021. DCC has advised that the payments made to the receiver to date do not include costs associated with the refurbishment. The cost of this work will be established once the tender process is complete.
I refer to the reply to Question No. 646 of 24 March 2021 for further details on this matter.
