REPLY:

Please find below a breakdown of the current vacant properties in the Lucan/ Plamerstown-Fonthill Area. All Council owned dwellings are subject to detailed inspection by our technical staff upon becoming vacant and relevant works are then procured by contractors on frameworks for re-let works before being allocated to eligible applicants from the social housing list.   Properties with "works ongoing" or "tender process" status are at various stages of procurement or undergoing works and as the required works progress an allocation process will commence for each.
