MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees that the building quality of the social housing leased by SDCC at Round Gardens in Saggart is inadequate and calls for action.

REPORT:

Further to recent concerns raised regarding damp and mould in six of the thirty-one units SDCC leased in 2019, I would like to provide you with an update.

We are aware of the reports and have already taken steps to address them. The management company carried out inspections of the affected units in conjunction with our own maintenance team, and we are closely monitoring the situation.

As per the terms of our lease agreement, responsibility for structural repairs rests with the landlord. We have taken a constructive and proactive approach by formally requesting a meeting directly with the property owners, rather than solely through the Management Company.

We are committed to keeping this matter on track and will provide you with a further update following our discussions with the property owners.
