Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2025
499. Deputy Jen Cummins asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if Oliver Bond flats will be subject to the same rationalisation of the refusal to fund the regeneration of Pearse House; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33821/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere is currently no active funding application with my Department for the regeneration of Oliver Bond Flats. Dublin City Council (DCC) has advised that the regeneration of Oliver Bond House Phase 1 is a priority regeneration project for its Housing Department. A consultant design team have been appointed and are currently at the technical stage in design development.
My Department and I fully support the regeneration programme and have awarded funding approvals to DCC for the following four projects:
* Stage 1 Capital Appraisal approval issued 16 March 2022 for the redevelopment for the flats in Blocks L, M and N.
o A revised stage 1 proposal was approved in November 2023
* N29-2-1057 Oliver Bond Community Centre
* N29-2-1058 Oliver Bond Precinct Improvement Works
* N29-2-1059 Oliver Bond Social Integration
My Department will continue to work with Dublin City Council and the wider community in advancing the Regeneration of Oliver Bond House. Dublin City Council advise that the overall design of the project is continuing and all options are being considered.
My Department also fully supports the regeneration of Pearse House and in this regard Dublin City Council is working on a revised submission.
