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. The most recent CSR (Quarter 4 2022) and previous reports are  available at the following links:

In Q2 2023, my Department granted a revised Stage 3 Pre -Tender Approval for this project which is being progressed under the Capital Assistance scheme. This approval is subject to a number of conditions, including clarification around the scheme design. The Department is actively engaged with South Dublin County Council to progress this project to construction.
