In response to a call for proposals for projects for inclusion in my Department's Remedial Works Schemes 2009-2011, an application for this project was received in Autumn 2008 from Cork City Council. The proposal was evaluated against the criteria set out for the programme, e.g. the age and condition of the dwellings, the unit cost of refurbishment, the priorities of the City Council, etc. The project was not rated sufficiently highly to merit funding under the Programme and my Department's decision was conveyed to the City Council in February, 2009.
