Dublin City Council Could Be Tasked With Management Of Kildare Social Housing Estate.

Tuesday, 29 June 2021 07:00

Kildare councillors will vote on the proposal today.

A vote by Kildare councillors today could mean that Dublin City Council assumes responsibility for management of a housing estate.

Kildare County Council is proposing to "enter into an Agreement with Dublin City Council whereby Dublin City Council will carry out all of the functions of Kildare County Council in respect of the Social Housing PPP (Bundle 3) Programme "

This is with respect to 50 homes at Ardew, Athy.

KCC notes, however, that this deal does not include "the nomination of tenants to be housed in the social housing development in Kildare County Council’s functional area,the calculation of the tenants’ differential rent,the role of landlord under the tenancy agreements and obtaining the necessary planning approvals and undertaking the public consultation procedures in respect of the development as required under the Planning and Development Acts and Regulations."

The matter comes before the monthly meeting of Kildare County Council for a vote of members today.
