MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 30
QUESTION: Councillor R. Mannion
To ask the Chief Executive for a schedule of the "window and door replacement" stock assessments which are taking place across the county on an estate-by-estate basis, with a view to updating tenants on when older, draughty windows and doors can expect to be inspected and listed for replacement.
REPLY:
In 2025, we commenced periodic property inspections, whereby properties will be inspected on a 5-year cycle. The findings of the surveys will feed into an ongoing multi-annual Stock Investment Programme which will include the Window and Door Programme. Our aim is to reduce the current level of reactive maintenance request, improve the overall value for money and enhance maintenance service delivery to our tenants.
217 homes received new window and door replacements in 2025.Tenders are due to be awarded at 70 locations in 2026 including the following areas: Kilmartin, Lealand, Liscarne Gardens, Melrose, Moorfield, Neilstown, Saint Finian’s, Saint Ronan’s and Taylors Court.
The table below provides a summary of works by local electoral area and current status since the programme commenced:
