Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD, Se\u00e1n Crowe, has expressed\nhis disappointment and disgust that a majority of councillors on South Dublin\nCounty Council voted to support the sale of public land to a private developer\nto deliver housing in the Killinarden Heights area of Tallaght.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis decision to agree the sale of Council owned land to a private developer will be a bitter blow to all those currently years waiting for accommodation on the South Dublin County Council housing list.<\/p>
\u201cIt is deeply disappointing that a majority of councillors from Fianna F\u00e1il, Fine Gael, the Green Party, and others on South Dublin County Council voted to sell off a key public site on Killinarden Heights in Tallaght.<\/p>
\u201cThis is another missed opportunity to deliver up to 500 public homes that would help meet social, affordable, cost rental, and affordable leasehold purchases that are badly needed and not currently available.<\/p>
\u201cThe deal agreed by Councillors will see 200 social homes, 200 discount market price homes, and a 100 open market homes delivered on the Killinarden site. <\/p>
\u201cThis decision highlights once again that neither the current caretaker government nor it seems the majority of Councillors\u00a0on South Dublin County Council have any real interest in putting the needs of working families ahead of investors and developers.<\/p>
\u201cHave they learnt nothing from the mistakes and decisions of the past.\u00a0 We need to stop the sale of public land to private developers and local authorities need to be resourced to deliver good quality affordable purchase, cost rental, and social homes.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
