I propose to take Questions Nos. 56 and 78 together.

The development of the lands at Oscar Traynor Road is providing very significant additional housing in Dublin city, involving the phased delivery of 853 social, cost rental and affordable purchase homes with accompanying community and créche buildings. Dublin City Council (DCC), as housing authority, is responsible for the delivery and administration of this social and affordable housing scheme.

This development, having regard to its scale and importance, has been prioritised for inspection by Dublin City’s Building Control team and engagement between the contractor and DCC has been extensive.

DCC has recently advised my Department that it is confident that all homes in this development will be finished to a high standard and achieve full compliance with building standards without any undue delay to the overall project timeframe. This will see the first homes completed by end 2025 and the remaining affordable and social homes following on a phased basis until the development is fully complete by early 2028.

With regard to the first 16 affordable purchase homes advertised for sale and for which purchasers have been identified, DCC has advised that 10 homes will be delivered in December 2025 and a further 6 in January 2026.
