On a great day for President Michael D Higgins, there has also been some great news for Ballymun. Minister Willie Penrose has given €4.6 million in funding to begin work on 25 new homes in Ballymun.
Following a visit to Ballymun with me yesterday, Minister for Housing Willie Penrose, announced this funding to start work on what is known as the Coultry 6 development.
These 25 homes will allow for further de tenanting of the original flats which is very welcome news for those waiting on new homes. They will also complete the redevelopment around Coultry Park, to take another step towards finishing the Ballymun Regeneration project.
I want to thank the Minister for coming to Ballymun to see first-hand the status of the redevelopment and to talk to those involved in on-going works. I was pleased to be able to show him around the remaining Sillogue blocks and the Sillogue 4 development, where works are underway to remove pyrite.
During yesterday’s visit the Minister also reaffirmed his commitment to completing the BRL project and this funding is evidence of his commitment.
I will be working with the Minister to see the Ballymun Regeneration project completed for the people of Ballymun and to address housing issues across Dublin North West.
