Over the weekend, a story broke in the Business Postthat a deal between the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the city council and Lioncor for homes on the Glass Bottle site is imminent. I met the Glass Bottle Housing Action Group. It is shocked by the deal. It is not the deal it campaigned and got cross-party support for. The residents of Ringsend and Irishtown will not accept a deal that prices them out of homes in their own community. Will the Government transfer the 20% equity held in the SDZ by NAMA to Dublin City Counsel in order to deliver genuinely affordable homes for the residents of Ringsend, Sandymount and Irishtown?
