OVER 1,000 NEW houses will be built in Clondalkin after An Bord Pleanála approved the development.
The 1,034 houses will be built on land owned by South Dublin County Council in Kilcarbery, Clondalkin.
The development, which is expected to take four years to complete, will include 310 homes designated for social housing.
Daniel McLoughlin, Chief Executive of South Dublin County Council, said that building should begin as soon as possible, calling the houses “vital”.
“We must now get on with commencement on site at the earliest opportunity and look forward to the development of this new community,” he said.
Under the deal agreed with South Dublin County Council, building company Adwood Ltd will pay the council €38 million and will build the 310 social housing homes, while 50 houses will be provided at below market price.
The development will also include a “community building”, as well as a creche and retail unit.
South Dublin County Council has committed to building 4,500 homes in the coming years.
Housing
The government’s “Rebuilding Ireland” initiative has faced scrutiny and criticism in recent weeks.
The latest homelessness figures show that the number of people who are homeless has risen to over 10,500.
The Fine Gael-led government has faced considerable criticism in recent weeks over its record on building homes, with housing minister Eoghan Murphy narrowly surviving a vote of no confidence in the Dáil last week.
Thousands of people took to the streets in Dublin and Cork last Thursday to demand more action on homelessness from the government.

They should have asked liam neeson.he won’t be busy for next while id say.
@Seriously stunned: na, he probably will. I’m sure rational people can interpret what he actually said, and not let the gutter press do it for them.
@Seriously stunned: Kevin hart is racist too that’s why there’s no host
@Damien Barton: Sure apparantly everyone’s a racist now
@Damien Barton: Hart is not hosting because he is homophobic. Although he could be racist also, it’s hard to keep up.
@Lily Martin: he’s not homophobic. Do keep up.
@Aidan Mitchell: who are these rational people of whom you speak?
I hear your a racist now father
Who would want to host the number one SJW event of the year? Especially after seeing what they did to Kevin Hart
@PC Principal:
And more people watched the food channel last year than the Oscars, which is why they’ve introduced a new award “Most popular movie”, a desperate stunt to recover viewers.
DeNiro’s recent outburst on stage against Trump was a typical example of the mindset of these detached self-adulatory millionaires and why people are tuning out in their droves.
@The Quare Fella: Hollywood is in the process of disappearing up its one bum.
If you want to know how well a movie did these days then you just have to look it up online instead of a show being hosted by questionable people telling us what we should think and what deserves an award because they belong to a particular race and gender that happens to be the flavour of the month
Maroon 5 could be hosting after the terrific job they did at the Superbowl :)
And not a white male honky amongst them I bet.
@Graham Murphy: if you’re interested; they’re listed in the article you skipped past on your way to comment. Daniel Craig and Chris Evans, just in case you can’t be bothered.
Who gives a damn about it
Trump!
I ended watching the ‘Oscars’ when Adrien Brody got best actor over Daniel Day Lewis.

@Punker: “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. It doesn’t last as long if you’re fat.”
@Kem Trayle: :) :)
The patriarchal systems of institutionalized structures are problematic
Liam Neeson and Kevin Hart would make it interesting
