Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 January 2025
835. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the up-to-date position with a new housing scheme in Kildare south (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2115/25]
View answerKildare County Council made a proposal to my Department, in conjunction with an Approved Housing Body (AHB), for the development of age-friendly homes on the site referred to in the question. Stage 2/Pre-Planning approval on this project was confirmed to the Council by my Department in April 2022 and I understand that planning permission was granted for the proposed development in August 2023.
The Council has advised my Department that they expect the AHB to proceed to tender for the main construction contract in the coming weeks, with their projection being to commence on site in Q4 2025. A 15 month construction programme is expected for the project.
