Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / November 3 2003: 63m plan for estate dropped as council sells site

Dublin City Council has abandoned plans to redevelop one of the city's most deprived areas, St Michael's Estate in Inchicore, because of a lack of money. Instead, the council intends to sell the lucrative 11-acre site to private developers, who will be required to provide some social housing in a public-private partnership. The council's decision to relinquish control of the €63 million flagship regeneration plan has caused anger in the community, which had been involved in consultations for over two years.
