To avoid any risk that the creche space in a housing scheme at Mooretown lies vacant, councillors want the developer to give it to the council once built. Council officials warned against the condition.
They're set to back the creation of a special purpose vehicle he's been picked to head, which is meant to play a major role in regenerating the city centre – but how major is in dispute.
Reviving 114 to 116 Capel Street is part of the council’s wider effort to meet recommendations around tackling vacancy made by the Dublin City Taskforce, a council spokesperson said.
“We should be able to try these big things and not be afraid of failure,” says Social Democrats Councillor Cian Farrell, who has spearheaded the initiative.
“For nearly a decade, conversations about the possible demolition of people’s homes have gone on in the background,” says Social Democrats Councillor Daniel Ennis.
