MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager if he will provide an updated report on the refurbishment of the Council's vacant house (at the address supplied) for letting and if he will indicate when the house will be allocated? 

REPLY:

This is a three bedroom end terrace house, which was taken back into Council's housing stock on the 9th August following an eviction.  This property was left in a very bad state of repair by the previous tenant and extensive repair works will have to be carried out in order to bring this house up to a letting standard.  The property has also been put on the energy program, which means additional work will be carried out in order to make it more energy efficient for the tenant.  Work has commenced and it is anticipated that it will be ready for allocation early in October and a tenant has already been sourced for this property.
