DUBLIN City Council has commenced the demolition of 25 houses at Buttercup in Darndale. It’s proposed that 35 new houses will be constructed in their place under a redevelopment plan.
A spokesperson for Dublin City Council told Northside People:
“We are currently awaiting approval from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to proceed to tender in relation to the construction of the new houses.
?
Local councillor Larry O’Toole (SF) has welcomed the development.
“After years of campaigning by local residents the demolition of vacant houses at Buttercup Park will make way for new homes,
? he said.
“We have waited years for this and now hopefully we can look forward to Department of Environment funding for building new, much-needed homes.
“The pressure must now be kept on the department to release the funding.
?
Cllr O’Toole added: I will be calling together local residents to set up an effective campaign to strongly lobby the housing minister.
