MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

That this ACM calls for a full assessment of the older persons complex in Limekiln Green, Dublin 12 and look to retrofit the property in terms of windows, heating systems, insulation levels etc at the very next funding opportunity.

REPORT:

As part of planning for the Energy Retrofit Program, the Housing Maintenance and Refurbishment Section is currently compiling data in relation to the energy efficiency of all council properties. The data collected will look at the current age of the property, conditions of windows, level of insulation and type of heating system in place.  Once the data has been compiled, selection criteria and method of prioritising properties will be confirmed.  It is planned at that time to have a multi annual program in place.  The request for the inclusion of properties at Limekiln Green will be considered as part of this review. The delivery of the programme is subject to the continued funding by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
