Given the concerns raised by the Deputy, I will ask my officials to engage with Dublin City Council in order to examine this issue to see if any progress can be made or a resolution found.

In the wider context, the key focus must be on significant intervention by the State on multiple fronts in order to ensure delivery and provide an adequate supply of secure, good quality housing in sustainable communities for all citizens as the country continues on the path to recovery. In the interests of ensuring short-term supply is maximised in tandem with any new-build programme, the social housing strategy will be key and include a range of actions to maximise the supply, management and maintenance of social housing stock in the longer term. The strategy will be finalised in the coming weeks and take cognisance, in particular, of the outcome of the Estimates process.
