QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor C. Keane

"To ask the Manager for an update on the Pearse Br. / Palmer Park refurbishment funding awaited from the Department of the Environment?"

REPLY:

A detailed proposal, in compliance with Circular N7/2007, is currently with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government for the inclusion of the dwellings at Pearse Brothers Park and Palmer Park  in the Social Housing Investment Programme. This proposal focuses on the need for the exceptional thermal upgrading and improvement works that will address those issues concerning the residents, particularly thermal discomfort and heat loss.

The Council is awaiting a response from the Department to this proposal.
