That is why we highlighted the site in Project Ireland 2040 and we are moving forward on that.

The capital appraisal for 540 units on the Shanganagh site has been received and the Department is working with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council on the appraisal. The breakdown is 200 social housing units and 340 affordable housing units, which will cost between €140 million and €150 million. We are examining the appraisal with the local authority and we must go through it robustly to make sure it adds up and to make sure we are not left in a difficult position from a financial point of view or from any other point of view. However, we want to progress this site. It is important for the people in the area, the local authority and the Department.
