As part of the 2008 National Housing Programme allocations, €1 million has been allocated to support the regeneration process in Cox's Demesne and Muirhevnamor. The process of regeneration must have regard to the wider environment in which the estates concerned are located. The local authority is currently engaged in preparing a document outlining this wider vision, having regard also to relevant national policies, including the National Spatial Strategy. The authority has also been requested to consider "early win" projects that might be commenced in the short-term. Further discussions on the matter between my Department and the local authority are expected to be held in the coming weeks.
