Ł60m plan to replace old city estate

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / June 13 2001: Ł60m plan to replace old city estate

Dublin Corporation yesterday unveiled a Ł60 million redevelopment plan for St Michael's Estate in Inchicore, Dublin, pledging that it would transform the area into "a very nice place to live". The plan involves a phased demolition of the entire estate, a mini-Ballymun built in the late 1960s using the same Balency prefabrication system, and its replacement by new housing and a wide range of community facilities. Mr John Fitzgerald, the city manager, said local people had been "very patient" while the plan was being prepared over the past 12 months. "The last thing we want to do is to get it wrong and have to re-do it all in 10 years' time."
