Urban Development
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-24
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

I thank Senator Boyhan for raising this important matter, which I am taking behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Browne. It gives me the opportunity to reiterate the support my Department has been pleased to be able to provide for this critically important regeneration project for regeneration in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in general. In that respect, I will also inform Senator Boyhan that funding supports for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown also include €43.2 million for public access supports in Cherrywood.
Furthermore, the Minister, Deputy Browne, and his Department would welcome a suitable application from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for funding under the new fund, which, as the Senator referenced, is currently open for such applications with a closing date for submissions of 1 May 2026.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing the works progress in Dundrum along with the other key URDF projects in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
