MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 21, 2026

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor J. Spear

"Can the Manager please give an estimate as to when windows and doors will be inspected and replaced, if necessary, at the homes of council tenants living in the flats in Avonbeg Gardens, Tallaght?"

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 Windows and Doors 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.

Stock condition surveys within the Tallaght Central Electoral Area are scheduled to commence in 2028. These surveys will include a detailed assessment of windows and doors, with each element assigned a condition rating and an associated recommended action. Where replacement works are identified as necessary, windows and doors will be measured and assessed as part of the survey process to facilitate the subsequent procurement and delivery of replacement windows and doors.
 
The table below provides a summary of the works undertaken under the Windows and Doors Programme in the Tallaght area, together with the current status since the programmes commencement:
