To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the status of the apartments in Finglas, known as Prospect Hill, that were taken back into the possession of Dublin City Council; if they remain in full ownership of the State; if a block of apartments recently sold by the National Asset Management Agency in the same complex were the ones owned by the State; the status of that particular block; and when the apartments will be allocated.

Prospect Hill consists of 469 apartments the majority of which are in private ownership.

Dublin City Council (DCC) has full ownership of 58 apartments located in Blocks 2 and 2a.

DCC has advised my Department that following a scope of works exercise, the tender for remediation works was advertised in Q2 2022 for these 58 apartments. A contractor has been appointed to undertake the works and is expected to commence on-site on 12 October 2022.

DCC has also advised my Department that the work will be completed in Q4 2023 after which the units will be allocated for social housing.

Neither DCC or my Department were involved in the sale of units by the National Asset Management Agency.
