Dail Éireann — 2021-01-28
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Deputy Ó Ríordáin asked about the Oscar Traynor development. We are working with the council and with colleagues of Deputy Ó Ríordáin in the Labour Party on revised proposals there, especially around the contribution potentially from the Department. I met the executive straight after that vote. I think it is an important site. It would show considerable progress.
There are things we are working on in the affordable housing Bill around the serviced sites fund and how it can be used or perhaps altered and used more appropriately. The concept is good but its delivery has been slow. I will respond to the other points raised by Deputy Ó Ríordáin in writing.
