QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy
To ask the Chief Executive Officer to give an update on any schedule for refurbishment of Council owned houses in Lucan
REPLY:
The Council has recently received revised funding of €3.16 m in respect of 117 homes throughout the County under the National Energy efficiency/retrofit Programme. These works will include external insulation, installation of heat pumps and window and door replacement to achieve a B2 BER rating (or ‘cost optimal’ equivalent) for homes in 2021. The average funding per property is €27k. 16 homes at Sarsfield Close have been approved for funding in the Lucan LEA for 2021.
In addition, with recent relaxations of Covid restrictions, measurement surveys and works commenced week beginning 17th May 2021 for the first 50 properties in the County under the window and door replacement programme. Works will focus on properties with original single glazed and/or poor performing old aluminium windows and doors. Lead in time for installation is approximately 6-8 weeks from the date of measure. Airlie and Arthur Griffith Estates have been identified in the Lucan LEA for Phase 1 with the average cost estimated at €8k per home.
