In April 2024 my Department provided approval funding for the purchase and refurbishment of the property referred to in the Question.
Dublin City Council's AHB section supported De Paul Housing in their proposal to advance the delivery of six apartments for social housing at the address referred to. The project includes purchase and refurbishment of the property.
The funding application for this scheme was supported by DCC under the CAS (Capital Assistance Scheme) based on the demonstrated social housing need for one and two bedroom homes in this area and an assessment on the budget proposed for the refurbishment of the units.
It is a matter for the Local Authority to work with the Approved Housing Body to ensure the completion of necessary refurbishment works and to allocate appropriate social housing tenants. The Local Authority have confirmed to me that these properties have not been refurbished to date but that the AHB have provided now provided the City Council with a plan for their refurbishment in the coming months.
