COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 21, 2017

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm the number of outstanding requests for window replacements within the Clondalkin area and detail the average waiting times to deal with such requests and will he also make a commitment to provide additional funding to allow for the waiting list to be tackled and eliminated?"

REPLY:

There are currently 277 properties on the Windows and Doors Replacement Programme in the Clondalkin area for 2017.

The list is live and added to each year through tenant contact. The waiting time on the list is dependent on a number of factors including rent status and whether or not the tenant is involved in any anti-social behaviour. Priority is given to applicants with serious medical conditions. The average waiting time on the list is currently 5 years.

The overall budget for windows and doors in 2017 is €1 M.

Any increase in spending for this programme will have to be approved by the Council for the 2018 budget."
