Representatives from the Council’s Housing Department and the Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) are available to meet with local stakeholders and Elected Representatives to discuss any issues that have been reported from residents of Finnstown House.  Any complaints reported to date, have been fully investigated by the DRHE.
