DCCC is no better. Look at all the flats that were awarded PPPs years ago that have yet to start. O’Devaney Gardens, St Michaels, Cherry Orchard (2,000 not stared), Ballymun (which is only half finished after 10 years). They talked about regenerating Fatima more than 10 years ago and it still is not done. DCCC boasts about all the hundreds of consultations that were done with thses PPPs but half of the punters that attended have moved or are dead.
Most builders in the Docklands have been quite successful at removing the 20% social/affordable requirement by negotiating to build almost exclusively affordable to meet obligations. Affordable does not have the stigma attached that exists with social. DDDA is very happy to accomodate as they are very nervous about social.
