I propose to take Questions Nos. 623 and 624 together.

St. Teresa’s Gardens is a key regeneration project, the first phase of which will see the delivery of the 54 new social housing homes. As the project is currently moving through the final stages of a tendering and approval process, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the specifics of the project or timelines. My Department is working very closely with Dublin City Council, who will be the contracting authority, so that Stage 4 approval can be issued and the contract awarded without delay.
