As housing authorities, local authorities, including South Dublin County Council, are responsible for the identification of the social housing need in their area and for the development of appropriate responses to the need identified. My Department is supporting local authorities in the delivery of a range of social housing schemes from small to larger scale developments.

South Dublin County Council advise that the housing development is at a preliminary stage but will not affect the pitch or pavilion of Knocklyon United Football Club as they are outside the boundary of the proposed site. The Council reaffirmed its commitment and continued support to the football club.
