My Department publishes quarterly Social Housing Construction Status Reports (CSR), which provide details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes.

The full set of published CSRs, can be found on my Department's website at the following link:

In 2016, my Department granted Stage 3 Pre-Tender approval to Fingal County Council for this project, that will result in the delivery of 32 social housing units.

The development of the project is on hold pending the remediation of contaminated land to allow residential development for the wider lands in the area. The project is also dependent on new road and water infrastructure.
