Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
483. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the way in which the Government allocation of €18 million for the redevelopment of O'Devaney Gardens will be spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41662/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI was very pleased to have been in a position to announce Stage 1 funding approval of €17,859,976 for Dublin City Council to progress the delivery of 56 Social Housing dwellings at the former O'Devaney Gardens. These dwellings benefit from an existing approval under the Planning Acts for 110 social and affordable units on a portion of the site.
This is the first phase of a mixed tenure re-development of the entire site to deliver approximately 600 dwellings in total with a mix of 30% social, 20% affordable and 50% private housing.
I understand that Dublin City Council intend that the remainder of the lands will be developed jointly with a private developer under a development agreement, to deliver a total of approximately 300 private, 120 affordable and the remaining 124 social dwellings to achieve the 600 dwellings at the agreed tenure ratio for the site.
