Agenda

“In line with DCC/HSE Age Friendly Strategy 2014-2019 and conscious of the absence of a plan for the west side of DSE, this committee:

· Acknowledges the lack of suitable accommodation on the market for people who
want to sell their homes and down size as they get older.

· Agrees to investigate the possibility of the City Architect initiating the design of a
prototype block of age friendly apartments for older people that might possibly be
located on the Rathmines Cleansing Yard Site. The process would involve
investigation of appropriate age friendly design principles e.g. larger verandas for
small gardens, common guest bedrooms, disabled access etc. The objective would be to produce a design in conjunction with the HSE to devise a sustainable model.”
