The allocation for regeneration projects for 2016 is €50m, as stated in the reply to Question Number 14 of 29 June 2016. Individual regeneration projects are implemented on a multi-annual basis and, accordingly, they receive funding that is spread over the years of their implementation. The €50m allocated for regeneration projects in 2016 is in relation to implementation activities for this year alone.

The approved construction budget, which is subject to review, for phase 1 of the Dolphin House regeneration project is currently €19.1m. This is to cover the construction of 37 new units and the refurbishment of 67 units (100 units in total) and the provision of lift blocks. Other community-related costs are considered as required, such as the provision of CCTV facilities to help reduce anti-social behaviour and annual funding for social regeneration measures.

Dublin City Council has not yet submitted detailed costs to my Department for the St Teresa’s Gardens regeneration project but has estimated the construction cost will be some €12.5m, to provide 50 homes (16 apartments and 34 terraced houses). As with the Dolphin House regeneration project, community-related costs are considered as required.
