They covered all bases fairly sharpish to ensure any such non compliance was covered ref the LPT, you'd nearly think they're not really trying with social housing payment arrears.

We have a number of problems, those on the housing list want to live near the city centre but they don't want to live in high-rise apartments, and anyway the stupid DCC won't give permission for high-rise. There is no solution unless unrealistic expectations are changed.

The evil cow how dear she desire somewhere for her child to play safely with her friends and the further cheek to want to have a toy in said garden. You are right to be outraged.

Anyway any thoughts on the 15 homes delivered out of the 3500 planned by FG?

I think most of the council tenants in dublin live in apartment blocks , with only a small garden,if they live on the ground floor. it would be alot cheaper if the council just paid private builders , heres a site ,build 10 houses ,cost maybe 200k. And even cheaper if the council used the buildings they have, theres 100,s of empty council flats in dublin, boarded up. IF you are offered a council apartment and turn it down, it will go to the next person on the housing list. IN reality you take the apartment and after a certain time you can swap it for another one in a different area. The council sold off most of its house,s with gardens to council tenants .
