In March 2022, Dublin City Council approved an application for the first phase of homes at the former Glass Bottle site. My Department has been working with Dublin City Council and the developers of the Poolbeg SDZ area to progress the delivery of social and affordable housing in this first phase of housing delivery, subject to agreement on the SDZ requirements and all the normal and relevant terms, including value for money aspects.

Dublin City Council is in the process of concluding Part V negotiations with the developer, and has agreed 90 social housing units in phase 1. Engagement is ongoing with regard to delivery of affordable housing in this first phase in accordance with the terms of the SDZ condition. The parties are not in a position to comment further until an agreement is finalised.
