"That the Chief Executive gives a report on how the need for one and two bed accommodation within the Clondalkin area is being addressed?  How many one bed and two bed have been built since 2014 and are planned to be built up to the next local elections, also how many are on one and two bed list for the Clondalkin area?"

REPLY:

There were no houses built directly by SDCC in 2014 and 2015 and 2017. A total of 12 houses were built in 2016; 10 units in Tallaght and 2 in Lucan. There are no one and two bedroom units currently being built in the current Council build schemes. However the Council is addressing the one and two bedroom housing need through Part V and single acquisitions targeted under the Capital Assistance Scheme with Approved Housing Bodies and acquisitions with the Housing Agency. On two private developments there are Part V agreements in place to deliver 7 x 1 bedroom units and 7 x 2 bedroom units in quarter 2 2018. Acquisitions under CAS and Housing Agency are ongoing within the supply programme to meet these needs countywide.
