COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive if the Council are not a party to the contract between the NDFA & Sisk in relation to Kilcarberry - why are the NDFA & Sisk reporting back to them after our meetings? Would it not speed up matters if they appointed someone to attend the meetings in the first place?"

REPLY:

This is a PPP project with 6 sites being developed in 5 local authority areas and is being funded by the Department of Housing.  As part of the process, a project team was set up which meets on a monthly basis and is made up of representatives from the five local authorities, representatives from the Department and representatives from the NDFA.  The NDFA report on the progress of the sites to the project team.  As the housing being provided is 100% social housing, all nominations will come from each of the local authority’s housing lists.  Each local authority must be kept informed of progress on the project.
