My Department publishes quarterly Social Housing Construction Status Reports (CSR), which provide details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes.

The full set of published CSRs, can be found on my Department's website at the following link:

In 2016, my Department granted Stage 1 Approval to Cork City Council and Respond Approved Housing Body for this project. It sought to deliver 25 social housing units. Cork City Council advise that there were a number of issues with the site ranging from site issues to conveyancing delays due to title. Continued engagement happened between Cork City Council and the Approved Housing Body between 2020 and 2022.

However Cork City Council advise that it would not be in a position to progress this project and accordingly should be marked as withdrawn in July 2022.

In 2015, my Department granted Stage 1 approval to Cork City Council and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (AHB) for a project. Cork City Council advised that due to various issues with site the project was deferred.

In 2023 the project was re-submitted with an increased numbers of units and my Department granted Stage 1 approval to Cork City Council and Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in February 2023.

This project will result in the delivery of 8 Units under the CAS Construction scheme and is planned to see substantial completion in 2025.
