The regeneration of St. Michael’s Estate in Inchicore includes the development of 578 units on the Emmet Road site to include 117 Social Housing and 461 Cost Rental units. I am pleased to say that this important Mixed Tenure project is advancing and is currently at Stage 3 My Department provided Stage 2 Approval-in-Principle on 23 Sep 2022. This approval allowed Dublin City Council (DCC) to commence the procurement of an Integrated Design Team (IDT) and develop outline design to advance a planning application. My Department understands that Part 10 planning was lodged with An Bord Pleanala on 6 Oct 2022 with the case due to be decided imminently. The next step for DCC will be to advance a procurement process for the construction of these much needed homes.
Procurement and contractual issues are strictly a matter for Dublin City Council as the contracting authority.
