The project plans for the regeneration of estates and flat complexes are a matter for the Local Authority (LA) concerned. In order to support LAs in progressing such regeneration plans, my Department is making a number of funding channels available to LAs and Approved Housing Bodies (AHB) including:
- Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP)
- Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)
- Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF)
- Cost Rental Equity Loan (CREL)
- Regeneration (for remedial works)

My Department and I fully support the regeneration programme and have awarded funding approvals to DCC for the following four projects:

- A revised stage 1 proposal was approved in November 2023
- N29-2-1057 Oliver Bond Community Centre

Basin View Flats
The site at the Basin View Flats is included in Bundle 5 of the national Social Housing Public Private Partnership (PPP) programme. A Design Team has been appointed by the Project for Bundle 5 and the Basin View development received a grant of planning (Part 8) for 171 homes in Q1 2025. The Bundle 5 sites are progressing through planning in conjunction with Dublin City Council and the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA).
Lissadel Road Maisonettes
My Department has not received a funding application from DCC for a project at Lissadel Road Maisonettes.
