My Department approved South Dublin County Council's proposals in July 2003 for the refurbishment of houses situated in RAPID areas. This approval allows refurbishment of 100 houses at Cushlawn Park, 100 houses at Shancastle and Greenfort Estates and 113 houses at Moorefield Estate under my Department's remedial works scheme at an estimated cost of over €8.6 million. While there are no further proposals in my Department from the council, it is expected that further phases of refurbishment works will be proposed when this first phase is nearing completion.
