A BATCH OF apartments earmarked for key workers in Dublin is opening applications for tenancies tomorrow, with rents starting at €1,710 for a two-bed apartment.
Key workers like teachers, nurses and gardaí will be able to apply for one of the 46 apartments included in the scheme at Boland’s Mills in the Docklands.
However, they’ll need to have a connection to the local area to be eligible to apply.
The local area is defined as within a 1.5km radius of Boland’s Mills and examples of a connection to the area include being born and raised there, living in the area for a minimum of five years, having immediate family living in the area for a minimum of five years, and/or working in the area.
Additionally, workers must be in a sector providing vital services for society, such as public safety, healthcare, education, transport, law and order or infrastructure.
For those who are successful, the monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the complex is €1,710. There are 35 two-bed units available.
Ten three-bed apartments are available for a monthly rent of €1,850 and one larger three-bed is available for €2,100.
The rent rates are being advertised by Clúid, the approved housing body managing the scheme, as a discount of 27% and 36% on market average in Dublin 4.
Applicants must have a household income that means the rent is not higher than 35% of the household income, unless they can demonstrate that they have paid the same rent or higher for the preceding two years.
That means a household looking to move in to one of the two-bedroom apartments would need an income of around €58,629, while a standard three-bedroom apartment would need €63,429.

People have nothing better to do than give out about LIPSTICK NAMES! ! Its actually frickin ridiculous, get a grip people!!!
Get a grip, you say, while speaking in all-caps with a torrent of exclamations!
@Neal at least Lilly put forward a genuine comment based on the article.
You instead are making others scroll even more through the comments section by posting a pathetic comment of which no one needs to add pain to an early morning commute to work.
You must really dislike yourself if you have to get satisfaction from posting such rubbish to other people.
Read a book… T’will do you the world of good.
It is part of a culture that we have been on about a lot, paedophiles, priests with youngsters, it all adds up you see. If you had a little one and saw them in danger what would you feel, and what would you do?
You should hear Neal’s podcast – it’s hilarious. He plays this thick culchie character and talks about mundane stuff in a silly voice – gas stuff altogether!
As per the great writer whom we sadly lost last week:
“Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind.’
Next….
PC gone mad.
People should be outraged by things that are really matter like government corruption, the health service and unjust taxes.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, Its you flying off the subject.
Not everything is about the government / tax system etc.
Unless you have a really sad and narrow outlook on life.
I’m going to vote Sinn Fein for the first time ever.
Thanks to your trolling patjoe
You’re right we should be outraged at important things, like economists saying the greatest threat to economic recovery is Sinn Fein.
The criminal sexualising of children and infants is a huge issue.
Maybe this “fashionista” could get stripper impersonators/lewd child entertainers like Beyonce, Perry, Cyrus, Minage, Thicke, Pharrell, Lopez, Azelea to target their kiddy followers with her Paedo products?
Disgusting psychological abuse of minors.
What’s up red thumbers?
Do you agree with this lewd perving??
have tried ctrl + alt + del?
Do you get a tingle in your pants when you post PC Glen? There must be some reward or you wouldn’t keep doing it.
PC = trying to be decent to groups of people who probably don’t have things as easy as you do.
Anti-PC mob = privileged people who dress up reactionary, authoritarian beliefs in the cloak of rebelliousness
Celebutard…that’s classic.
Seems as though she knows how to market lipstick in a an industry dominated by multi-national conglomerates with deep pockets for celebrity endorsements and advertising saturation.
Patjoejoe – what do you think of the lipstick story? Obviously you hate SF but stay on topic if you can. Now personally I’m not giving much of a sh*te about this and as they say – there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
i think the story will come as a joy to the ‘what can i be offended by today’ mob.
It’s only a lipstick ffs!!!
Kat vons the d
She’s been cocked more times than Elmer Fudds rifle!
Cutting stuff this.
Society has gone to repressed. It’s possible and natural to find the odd girl under 17 attractive. Hence the masterpiece lolita. Jesus if that v was written now he would be lynched.
It’s not like a girl hits 17or 18 and just on that day becomes attractive. Reminds me of American beauty.
I feel as if you’re the kind of fellow who would wear a trench coat very regularly.
Hehe thanks buddy
But yes we carry repression here. I agree with age of consent being 16 in UK but 16 give or take a year and a girl can look very attractive. Sorry that’s just nature
have your say
