Reply To: City Council Flats

Not too many months ago, Dublin City Council admitted that the Living Over the Shop scheme, although a great idea, had not worked out.
The take-up was far too low apparently and as far as I know, it’s being phased out. It was supposed to come to an end in December 2004 regardless.
The original idea was to create around 3,000 housing unit but I think it was used only for two properties at 3 and 4 Capel Street (both of which belonged to City Council anyway).
