The National Regeneration Programme targets the country’s most disadvantaged communities; those defined by the most extreme social exclusion, unemployment and anti-social behaviour. My Department supports an ambitious programme of regeneration projects which seek to address the causes of disadvantage in these estates through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration.
My Department currently supports a programme of large-scale regeneration projects in Dublin, Cork and Limerick and smaller projects in Tralee, Sligo and Dundalk. These projects seek to address the causes of disadvantage in these communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration.
My Department publishes quarterly Social Housing Construction Status Reports (CSR), which provide details of the information collected in relation to social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes.
The full set of published CSRs, can be found on my Department's website at the following link:

Further to the above, four large scale Mixed Tenure projects, which seek to regenerate the relevant areas, are currently underway in Dublin:
| Project | Social Housing units | Cost Rental units | Affordable Purchase units | Private Developer units | Total no. of units | Current stage of process | Expected completion date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oscar Traynor Road | 343 | 340 | 170 | 0 | 853 | Implementation - onsite | Phased from 2025 |
| O’Devaney Gardens | 280 | 264 | 233 | 267 | 1044 | Implementation - onsite | 2027 |
| Emmet Road | 137 | 441 | 0 | 0 | 578 | Approval in principle issued | * |
| Donore Project (St. Teresa’s Gardens) | 154 | 389 | 0 | 0 | 543 | Approval in principle issued | * |
*Completion programmes to be determined as the projects move through the tender process
The timing of completion and tenanting of homes is a matter for each local authority.
