Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Vacancy and Dereliction: Discussion
2:00 am
Joe Flaherty (Fianna Fail)
I wish to ask Mr. Flynn about one specific vacant development that I first mentioned in 2023, that is, the 103 completed apartments at No. 11, Old Naas Road, Bluebell, Dublin. I asked for mediation, which took place. Chief Justice Frank Clarke was appointed to that mediation process. I was extremely disappointed to see there was no resolution. I understand Dublin City Council walked away from the mediation process. Will Mr. Flynn provide an update on that? It seems extraordinary, in the teeth of a housing crisis, that we have 103 apartments completely finished. As I said, I first raised this issue two and a half years ago and those apartments are still lying idle.
