In 2015, my Department granted Stage 1 Capital Appraisal approval to Fingal County Council for this project, following which the project was progressed through the Capital Works Management Framework (CWMF) 4 Stage Preconstruction process. The final project comprised a total of 74 units, which were delivered on a phased basis during 2017 and 2018 at a cost of €11.9m. The project was not officially opened by a Minister.
