245. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of complaints received by his Department and Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in relation to the 44 social housing unit development in Rosemount, Dundrum, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25943/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has not received any complaint in relation to the social housing scheme at Rosemount Court, Dundrum, Co. Dublin. Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council are currently constructing 44 high quality housing units at the site, which are due for completion in Q3, 2018. The Council state that this development is delivering in a timely manner and will greatly enhance the local area when completed.
As with any building development, every effort is made to minimise any inconvenience with adjoining residents. In this regard, the Council advises that it received a complaint recently regarding fire brigade access to the area. A test in conjunction with Dublin Fire Brigade was undertaken and they have confirmed that the road is accessible. The road has been marked to prevent parking.
The development, which is being funded under my Department's social housing construction programme, will, on completion, be a welcome addition to the numbers of social homes being provided under the Rebuilding Ireland plan.
