View answerMy Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) in each local authority, including Dublin City Council. This data is available to the end of 2022, and is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/
Specifically regarding the projects referenced, my Department has issued Stage 3 Pre-tender Approval for all three projects. However Dublin City Council has advised that they have recently met with Novas AHB to discuss the current status of these projects. Dublin City Council advise that they have not been successful in appointing a contractor to redevelop the three sites. The Council and Novas are currently reviewing the projects with a view to identifying the most effective way to progress them. My Department is available to assist the local authority and the AHB in this effort.
