MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 10, 2026

MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council confirms that the apartments at Loreto Gate are in the process of being allocated and will be occupied soon, with an indicative timescale for such occupation, as they have been empty for far too long, particularly when housing is so badly needed

REPORT:

Oaklee Housing became the owner of Loreto Gate in December 2025, following completion of the conveyance process for the completed units. Since November 2025, South Dublin County Council, in partnership with Oaklee Housing, has been actively progressing nominations and pre-tenancy processes.

Occupation of the development commenced on Wednesday, 28 January, with over half of the homes now allocated to households who have signed tenancy agreements and received keys. The remaining nominated households will be accommodated as soon as outstanding pre-tenancy requirements are finalised.
