Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen

Petition on Pearse House Regeneration

2:00 am

Mr. Neil Maloney:

The stairwells are very narrow. They are concrete steps going all the way up. If someone is old or living at the top, there will come a stage where he or she will be unable to live up there. We have already spoken about the deep retrofit and asked whether there is any way we can give them gardens at the back with access to them through double doors. That is not even happening. We are looking at a holistic approach to this. Regarding going into the toilets, the width is from the middle of my chest to the end of my hand. That is how much of a space someone has and that is being generous.
