SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, November 08, 2021
QUESTION NO.13
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
To ask the Chief Executive to present an update on all current Council Housing projects throughout our County; will he details new completion dates where Covid restrictions have impacted on building programmes and will he make a general statement?
REPLY:
Many of this Council's approved housing developments were completely closed down for significant periods during Covid-related restrictions and this has obviously impacted on projected completion dates for schemes. In addition, the construction sector is currently experiencing numerous challenges relating to labour and materials that may impact on projects and the Elected Members will be kept updated in this regard as necessary.
