Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Darragh O'Brien)

My Department publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides 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 most recent CSR (Quarter 4 2022) and previous reports are available at the following links:

The project referred to was withdrawn by the Council and a reconfigured design was granted Stage 1 approval in 2018 for the delivery of 61 units. This project was completed in April 2023 and has not yet been officially opened by the Minister.
