332. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the proposed demolition of a number of houses at a location (details supplied) puts the Housing Agency in breach of its mortgage agreement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer to the reply to Question No. 327 of 22 March 2022 in which I provided an update on this project. My Department understands from Donegal County Council that it is not proposed to demolish social housing at the location referred to and that local authority officials have updated Councillors on this matter.

Further specific information on the future plans for this housing development will continue to be available directly from the local authority. I understand that they met recently with Clúid Housing Association to discuss the options for the redevelopment of the apartment block to make it fit for purpose as long term social housing accommodation.

I look forward to the local authority and Clúid Housing Association agreeing the approach to the renewal of this housing as soon as possible so that the necessary works can be undertaken and the housing units fully tenanted.
