This includes meeting Traveller-specific housing needs through a range of mechanisms, including the provision of mobiles and caravans; the provision and refurbishment of halting sites and bays with sites; the refurbishment and extension of existing group housing; the return to use of void group housing; the provision of new group housing and the acquisition of property. As accommodation requirements for each local authorities’ Traveller Accommodation Programme is unique the cost of providing accommodation for each accommodation programme may vary considerably. 4. The cost of retrofitting and The cost of carrying out an energy retrofit on a social home depends on a wide range of factors including insulating all council homes dwelling size, year of construction, dwelling condition, and construction type. Initial indications suggest that investment in the region of €2 billion may be required to complete the retrofitting of the local authority housing stock, however further detailed analysis is required to profile the works required, taking into account that some 72,000 local authority homes have already had some retrofitting works carried out under Phase 1 of the Social Housing Retrofit Programme, which included attic insulation and cavity wall insulation. Also properties refurbished under the Voids Programme had insulation fitted and will need less additional retrofitting than other properties. 5.

Accordingly, an increase of €4m would be required. year NOTE: This funding is supplementary only, and is provided to local authorities to assist them with their work as it relates to inspections of rental accommodation. It does not cover the full costs of the related inspections processes or inspections themselves. 6. The average cost of increasing The budget allocated for Energy Retrofitting of local authority housing in 2020 is €25m. The average cost of funding by 5%, 10%, 50% and 100% to increasing funding by the amounts above is as follows; retrofit local authority homes 5% - €1,250,000 10% - €2,500,000 50% - €12,500,000 100% - €25,000,000 The annual budget allocated to Dept. Housing for retrofitting of local authority housing, has ranged between €20m - €30m annually since the programme began in 2013 and the figures above are calculated using 2020 as the base year on which to calculate the increases. However new targets set within the Climate Action Plan will see 500,000 homes nationally, retrofitted by end 2030, including private and social homes. In that context, it is likely that some upscaling of retrofitting will be required for local authority housing. 7.

  • 0615 Richard Logue
    Future-proofing Ireland A response to the National Planning Framework Richard Logue Introduction The Central Statistics Office predicts that the State’s population will increase by 1.7 million over the next 30 years. Unless the State is proactive and plans ahead for this significant increase in population we will be faced with even more unbalanced development than we already have. John Moran, the former Secretary of the Department of Finance has proposed that a counterweight to Dublin be established in the West in order to deal with the issue of population expansion. This idea should be given very serious consideration. At present nearly all significant development in the State is focussed on the Greater Dublin Area. We have a stark choice facing us for the future of Ireland; we can either allow Dublin to grow out of control or we can re-invent some of the most deprived and remote parts of Ireland for a brighter future in an uncertain world. Richard Logue London, March 2017. Biographical note I started working for London Underground in 1989 and since then have worked on a variety of major rail projects including the Jubilee Line extension, the Thameslink Programme and more recently for Network Rail’s Anglia route. My projects include the Crossrail project, Step Free Access at Stations, and the new Lea Bridge and Cambridge North stations. I am from Quigley’s Point in County Donegal and have lived in the UK since 1985. Developing the West to its potential The proposals in this document are a radical re-think of development in Ireland.
