As the government blocks funding for major social-housing projects, FF and FG councillors point fingers at ministers
As many as 1,325 social homes in Dublin city are at an advanced stage, with planning granted – but now with no clear funding.
Last Thursday, a big digger dipped its mechanical arm into the back of a truck, grabbed some rubble and scattered it around.
Opening a new social cafe in Ballyfermot, the controversial demolition of a house on O’Donovan Road, and the appropriateness of allowing more student housing in the Liberties were among the issues councillors discussed at a recent meeting.
Although it’s had complaints, Dublin City Council hasn’t taken any enforcement proceedings in alarm-related cases from last year.
