QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive what measures have been undertaken by the landlord of Round Gardens apartment block off Garters Lane in Saggart, to address the systemic damp and mould mentioned in Clondalkin LEA Motion 8 from September 2024 local area meeting?

REPLY:

A schedule of refurbishment works was agreed between the Council and the owners of the 32 apartments at Round Gardens in December of 2021. These works were completed on a phased basis from January to October 2022. Since the completion of the works, we have received six reports of damp and mould. Our maintenance team have carried out inspections and have completed internal remedial works to rectify the issues reported. 

A meeting has been scheduled with the owners to agree timeframes for the implementation of a planned maintenance programme for the development.
