QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor Patrick Pearse Holohan

"To ask the Chief Executive how many houses are boarded up in the Tallaght area at present?  Additionally, what is the turnaround time for reallocation?"

REPLY:

"At present there are 44 secured Local Authority properties within the Tallaght area.  

These are broken down as follows:

Number of units at works schedule stage: 14 units

Number of units with refurbishment works ongoing: 11 units

Number of units with refurbishment works complete and ready for allocation: 19 units

The average turnaround time is 14.46 weeks as at the end of September 2019.  The turnaround time is calculated from the time the property is surrendered back to the Local Authority until the property is reallocated to a tenant following refurbishment works."
