SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, May 13, 2024
QUESTION NO.30
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
To ask the Chief Executive to confirm actions being taken to deal with the ongoing concerns of many in respect of the Relets issue; will he detail the number of boarded up Council houses across the County and his plans in that regard and will he make a statement?
REPLY:
The Council engages five re-let repair contractors who together with our own direct labour crews actively work to bring vacant properties up to standard for allocation in the shortest possible timeframe. To date 56 properties have been allocated in 2024 with an average turn-around time of 20.48 weeks. The Council’s housing maintenance team continues to work closely with the housing allocations and estate management teams to increase efficiencies with the objective of reducing turnaround times to a maximum of 16-20 weeks.
A summary of vacant properties by electoral area is detailed below:
