As the Tánaiste will be aware, planning permission has been granted for the former Irish Glass Bottle Company site in Ringsend and preparatory works have already started, although they have stalled. The planning permission means that 900 public and affordable homes must be delivered on the site. For residents in Ringsend and Pearse Street who have been on the housing list for many years, it is essential that public homes are delivered on the site rather than on the other side of the city. Dublin City Council management has indicated the prices of homes there will range from €600,000 to €700,000 per unit. Obviously, that is not affordable. Can the Tánaiste assure the community that there will be both public and affordable homes delivered on this key site?
