It is a matter for each local authority to bring forward proposals in relation to its proposals on social housing provision and in the context of the Social Housing Strategy 2020: Support, Supply and Reform published in November 2014, a Dublin Social Housing Delivery Taskforce has been established, to respond to the current supply challenge in the Dublin area, including facilitating mixed tenure developments and ensuring maximum value from Exchequer investment. I understand that as part of its work under the Dublin Social Housing Delivery Taskforce, Dublin City Council is currently assessing opportunities for procurement of private and public housing with a view to potentially commencing a competitive procurement process in relation to three sites, including the site referred to in the Question.

My Department is working as part of the Dublin Social Housing Delivery Taskforce and will consider any proposals that come forward from Dublin City Council once they have been further developed.
