330. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the status of the housing project at a location (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37359/21]
View answerMy Department is currently considering a funding application for a housing project, comprising 104 high-quality homes for social housing use, at the location referred to that is being progressed by the approved housing body (AHB), Clúid Housing, working in partnership with Dublin City Council (DCC). This project has an indicative completion date of December 2023. As with all construction projects in the current COVID 19 climate, delivery programmes and timelines are under constant review.
The land on which this proposal relates is currently in the ownership of DCC, and the project is currently going through the Pre Part 8 process. It is intended that the development will be social housing for Older Persons.
My Department publishes a quarterly Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report, which sets out the continuing progress being made in advancing the national Local Authority and AHB new-build pipeline.
