In the context of the national housing emergency, many of the large-scale social housing complexes in my constituency and other urban constituencies have been earmarked for regeneration to address the deplorable condition of many of them, and to increase the density of these sites with additional social and affordable homes. However, I want the Minister's assurance today that the Government is fully committed to funding these projects and regeneration programmes, because I have been informed that Dublin City Council is effectively pausing these projects, namely, Cherry Orchard, Bluebell, Dolphin House, St. Teresa's Gardens, Basin Street and the Oliver Bond flats for at least three years due to a lack of funding from central Government. Will the Government act to restore people's confidence in these projects and to grab the proper funding to accelerate these projects for existing and future tenants and renters?
