MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 28, 2017

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"To ask the Chief Executive to report on the number of additional social housing units or long-term rental units made available in the Lucan and Palmerstown area since December 2016 and to outline how many additional units are likely to be made available in the coming 12 months?"

REPLY:

A total of 46 units have been delivered through Approved Housing Body turnkey acquisitions and Part V units in the Lucan/Palmerstown area since December 2016 to date.  

The projected number due for delivery in 2018 is 19 units according to current supply and delivery timeframes. This supply will most likely increase through the delivery of further units through the Part V acquisition programme in the Lucan and Palmerstown area and in particular within the Adamstown SDZ. Part V agreements are currently being negotiated with developers for units within this area which will increase supply in the later end of 2018 and early 2019.
