Minutes: Emergency Motion in the Name of Cllr Pat Dunne The Housing SPC expresses its satisfaction at the progress been made in the building of 152 Older Persons apartments in Crumlin. These developments comprising of 92 units on Armagh Road (Fold) and 33 units in Raleigh Square (Thuaith) will greatly enhance opportunities for high standard Older Persons accommodation in the area. These opportunities should encourage downsizing and transfers of tenants from bedsits. Currently many persons living in surrounding Older Persons units in Lissadel Court, Stannaway Court, Lorcan O’ Toole Court, Ravensdale Close and Clonmacnoise Close still have a high concertation of bedsits. Tenants in these complex’s living in these bedsits should be given an opportunity to transfer to the new apartments should they so wish. The nomination process for the new apartments should provide for a substantial transfer from bedsits to these new apartments. Discussion Followed. Agreed: Motion Noted. Chair thanked members for their attendance, Cllr. Daithi Doolan CHAIRPERSON
