MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 14, 2020

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Chief Executive how many direct build social housing units were completed in 2017, 2018, 2019 and how many are expected to be completed in 2020. Please include in tablature form and outline how many in each LEA. This list should not include acquisitions, Part Vs, HAP/RAS properties, turnkey, long term leases etc. It should only include homes built directly by the Local Authority.

REPLY:

The Council has delivered a total of 350 new homes through direct build from from 2017 to date as follows:

Year Tallaght South/Tallaght Central Rathfarnham – Templeogue – Firhouse - Bohernabreena Lucan Palmerstown-Fonthill Clondalkin Total LA Build
2017 0 0 0 0 0 0
2018 149 24 0 11 54 238
2019 9 40 0 0 63 112
            350

There are no other projects currently under construction that will deliver completed new homes by the end of 2020.  While the 109 homes at Corkagh Grange in Clondalkin that are due for completion in December 2020 are being built on land provided by the Council they are being built under the PPP arrangement rather than by contractors procured directly by the Council.

It should be noted that housing provided our build programme was substantially supplemented by the supply of social housing delivered through partnership with Approved Housing Bodies, under Part V and through other purchase and leasing arrangements in the period referred to and this will continue to be the case in coming years.
