This Council expresses its deep disappointment at the social housing targets given to South Dublin County Council by the Minister for the Environment. We are particularly concerned that less than 10% of the proposed housing provision over the next three years will be Council housing. We do not believe that such a heavy reliance on subsidised private rented accommodation will meet the needs of individual families or our communities. We urgently call on the Minister to review these targets in favour of direct provision of social housing by South Dublin County Council.
That this Council calls on the Government to prioritise the South Dublin County Council administrative area for job creation initiatives noting the particular need to deal with unemployment throughout the county including the major population areas of Clondalkin, Lucan, Greenhills, Rathfarnham and the county town of Tallaght.
