MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, April 14, 2025

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on how many properties in South Dublin are currently managed by the Council or Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) under the 25-year Enhanced Lease? Report to include how many are expected to be added under this lease in 2025.

REPLY:

The Enhanced Leasing Scheme was introduced in 2018 to attract newly built or soon-to-be-built properties with planning permission that had not previously been leased or rented in the previous 12 months. This was with the aim of expanding the supply of social housing through leased properties.

Currently, the council manages 56 homes under this scheme, with no properties managed by Approved Housing Bodies in South Dublin County. No additional homes are expected to be delivered under this scheme in 2025.
