Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-03
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

I would like an explanation on the delay. Deputy Ó Broin made a point about making St. Michael's a pilot project for cost rental. That commitment was made when the former Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Eoghan Murphy, visited the estate back in 2018. The local consultation is an issue of concern. Yesterday, we received a WhatsApp message about events being held in Richmond Barracks during the month of March. Three different webinars are to take place. That is good news. However, like the other Deputies, I think the project needs to be accelerated, with a proper timeline set out for delivery. After all, the community has been waiting for decades for this to happen. They have been fighting in a comprehensive, clear and united way for it, and have worked with the parties in the area on it.
