I assume the question refers to my visit to the Dolphin House Regeneration Project, which I attended with An Taoiseach. Details of this visit are available on my Department's website at the following link:

.

Phase 1 of this project, which provides 100 social housing homes, was supported by funding of €26 million from my Department, and involved the refurbishment of 63 existing homes and the construction of 37 new homes.

Over the lifetime of the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, some €211 million is being made available under the National Regeneration Programme to support the delivery of over 1,000 new social housing homes. Together with providing a significant number of new homes the projects seek to address the causes of disadvantage in these communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration. A programme of large-scale regeneration projects in Dublin, Cork and Limerick and smaller projects in Tralee, Sligo and Dundalk, are being supported.
