REPLY:

The PPP contract for 534 social housing homes across five local authority areas was awarded on the 21st March 2019 to Comhar Consortium.  The National Development Finance Agency acted as agent for the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government which is the Sanctioning Authority for the project, with Dublin City Council as the Sponsoring Agency on behalf of the five local authorities involved.  The Kilcarbery site known as Corkagh Grange is one of the sites included and is to deliver 109 homes. The PPP model, which has successfully delivered high-quality roads, schools, healthcare facilities and other public building for the State is now being extended to deliver social housing.  The Comhar Consortium is 100% owned by Macquarie Capital Group Ltd. and suported by John Sisk & Son (Holdings) Ltd. as works contractor, Choice Housing as facilities management provider and Oaklee Housing as tenancy management provider.  Sisks have commenced work on the Corkagh Grange site with an anticipated delivery of the new homes in 2020.
