As part of the Dublin City Taskforce Report, published in October 2024, section ‘Big Move 2’ outlined recommendations to prioritise the regeneration of housing complexes within the inner city.

In light of these recommendations, and as articulated in the Programme for Government, this government will continue to accelerate social housing regeneration schemes in Dublin.

Although the project plans for the regeneration of estates and flat complexes in Dublin City are a matter for Dublin City Council, my Department is making a number of funding channels available to Local Authorities (LA) and Approved Housing Bodies (AHB) in order to support LAs in progressing such regeneration plans. These include:

• Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP)
• Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)
• Capital Advance Leasing Facility (CALF)
• Cost Rental Equity Loan (CREL)
• Regeneration (for remedial works)
