QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"To ask the Manager to give a report on the window replacement programme for the Rathfarnham area to include Whitechurch Estate and Tara Hill Estate?"

REPLY:

The window replacement programme commenced in 2010 and between then and the end 2012 we have completed the replacement of windows in 37 houses in the above area.   This represents 7% of the overall 550 windows replaced countywide.  In addition another 2 have been completed this year and 2 more in progress. 

There is a balance of 63 houses on a list for replacement windows in this area.  49 of this number are graded 5 which means they are in a bad condition.  Countywide there are 849 on the full replacement list, 809 of which are graded 5. 

It should also be noted that all replacements are carried out in date order of application subject to the rent account being either clear or a tenant adhering to an official arrangement for a minimum period of 6 months.
