I propose to take Questions Nos. 418, 419 and 420 together.
My Department publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes.

In 2015, my Department granted Stage 1 Capital Appraisal approval to Fingal County Council for the projects at College Street, Baldoyle and The Grange, Ballyboughal, following which the projects were progressed through the Capital Works Management Framework (CWMF) 4 Stage Preconstruction process. Both projects are delivered and further details are set out in the following table. The projects were not formally opened by a Minister.

The project at Ballyglass Road, Howth, did not ultimately proceed. The site was located in an Architectural Conservation Area and surveys undertaken by the AHB concerned indicated it would not be feasible to carry out the necessary restoration works.
