Social and Affordable Housing Maintenance

306. Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his Department has reviewed the case of the Parknasillogue social housing development in Enniskerry in County Wicklow, including the departure from building standards during construction necessitating the retrofitting of wall insulation, the refitting of guttering, and other significant repairs, including internal remediation; if any financial bond was in place to compensate the local authority, taxpayer, and tenants for the costs associated with the lapses in building standards; if he will outline the remaining work to be completed; the timeframe for completion, including any proposals for damp proofing the dwellings; if a report has been compiled of the full financial implications of the failures associated with this development; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The management and maintenance of local authority housing stock is a matter for each relevant local authority. My Department has not been involved in post-build issues in relation to the development referred to. The issues raised by the Deputy are a matter for the local authority and I understand that Wicklow County Council has been addressing issues in relation to the development concerned.
