Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 July 2025
495. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the implementation of the Dublin city task force recommendations will oversee regeneration of flat complexes in the south inner city; the actions that are envisaged; the funding allocated; and how these actions will be implemented. [36761/25]
View answerAs part of the Dublin City Taskforce Report, published in October 2024, section ‘Big Move 2’ outlined recommendations to prioritise the regeneration of housing complexes within the inner city.
On 24 June, Government agreed the approach to implementing the Taskforce for Dublin City set out in the Interdepartmental Group’s Report and Roadmap for Delivery. As set out in the report, given the Roadmap’s 10-year timeline for delivery and the overlap with existing Government commitments and decisions, it would not be realistic at this stage to provide an accurate full costing of the broad range of infrastructural or revenue costs associated with the 10 Big Moves and project scope in its entirety.
In light of these recommendations, and as articulated in the Programme for Government, this government will continue to support Dublin City Council to accelerate social housing regeneration schemes in Dublin.
Project plans for the regeneration of estates and flat complexes in Dublin City are a matter for Dublin City Council however my Department is making a number of funding channels available to Local Authorities (LA) and Approved Housing Bodies (AHB) in order to support LAs in progressing such regeneration plans. These include:
• Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP).
• Affordable Housing Fund (AHF).
• Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF).
• Cost Rental Equity Loan (CREL).
• Regeneration (for remedial works).
Funding allocations are made based on costed project submissions.
