Following the failure to reach agreement with the developer at St. Michael's Estate, O'Devaney Gardens, and Dominick Street in summer 2008, Dublin City Council has examined its options for the regeneration of these sites. A report by a multidisciplinary Special Housing Taskforce, established to develop plans for the regeneration of these estates, was presented to the Council in December 2008.

It will be up to the City Council to decide on the type of regeneration proposal that is most appropriate for O'Devaney Gardens and to determine the means by which the project should be advanced. It is open to the Council to prioritise the project in terms of its Social Housing Investment Programme, to progress its proposals in accordance with the usual conditions and, subject to approval by my Department, to manage its delivery in accordance with available allocations.
