622. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the up-to-date position with the provision of social housing at a location (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11882/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraKildare County Council made a proposal to my Department, in conjunction with an approved housing body (AHB), for the development of age-friendly homes on the site referred to in the question.
Stage 2/Pre-Planning approval on this project was confirmed to the Council by my Department in April 2022 and I understand that planning permission was granted for the proposed development in August 2023. I further understand from Kildare County Council that the AHB is finalising the detailed design and tender documentation, with a Stage 3 / Pre-Tender proposal anticipated in Q2 2024.
Further details on the advancement of the project will be available directly from the Council and I have assured the Council and AHB that funding is in place to support its earliest possible advancement.
