Residents of Glovers Court have been asking the council for years to address the issues at the 1976-vintage flats. The council has been looking at ways to better insulate them.
Part of the discussion focused on why the council had opted for affordable homes to sell, rather than to rent – and whether it was possible to revisit that.
Councillors in the Central Area met on Tuesday and talked, among other things, about plans to ask those in Stoneybatter where they’d like more plants and greenery.
Earlier this year we asked our readers what issues they wanted candidates running for Dublin City Council to talk about. Supplying homes was the issue they mentioned most often.
What social housing will Dublin City Council get from big build-to-rent schemes that happen in the city? And other council matters from this month’s full meeting.
At Monday’s monthly meeting, councillors voted down the idea of relaxing rules around homes in back gardens, and railed against recent building heights changes.
The council plans to move out the onions, peas, chard, raspberries and children digging in the dirt, and build social housing for some of the hundreds of families in the area who are on the waiting for it.
