Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Housing Management Initiative, direct control has been given to local authorities from 1 January 2007 over their internal capital receipts from the sale of local authority dwellings, to be used primarily for their improvement works programmes. While the Department approves the overall programmes it is the responsibility of local authorities to prioritise and advance individual projects. The overall programme proposed by Dublin City Council, which included the development in question, was approved by my Department on 24 April 2007.
The advancement of this project is a matter for Dublin City.
