QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm the number of applications made to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in relation to housing projects over the last 12 months following the increase in the discretionary funding limit to €6 million

REPLY:

There are currently two Part 8 approved social housing construction projects, at Old Bawn in Tallaght Central and Lindisfarne/Melrose in Clondalkin, that will progress through the Single Stage Approval process with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

Both projects are at pre-tender detailed design stage and following completion of the respective tender processes, the Council will submit budget applications to the DHLGH in accordance with the procedures for Single Stage Approval of Social Housing Capital Construction Projects below €6m.

It is intended to continue to use this funding process for subsequent social housing construction projects with budgets below the €6million threshold.
