My Department issued approval to Dublin City Council on 13 August 2015 to proceed to tender stage for phase 1 of Labre Park Redevelopment, involving the reconstruction of three Traveller-Specific houses in Kylemore Grove, Labre Park. Funding in the amount of €499,400 in respect of the work has been approved. I understand from the Council that the closing date for receipt of tenders was last week and that a number of tenders have been received. Dublin City Council will examine these and submit a tender report to my Department for approval in due course. In addition, Dublin City Council is considering an extensive redevelopment of the whole site at Labre Park. A feasibility study and preliminary outline proposals have been recently submitted to my Department by the Council, and are currently under consideration with a view to further discussions with the Council in the near future.
