Sinn Féin TD John Brady has voiced his dissatisfaction over responses received from the Department of Housing as they appeared before the Public Accounts Committee to face questions over the sudden decision to scrap a Public Private Partnership (PPP) housing programme, which included 106 social homes in Wicklow.
A total of 486 homes were due to be constructed through PPP Bundle 3, at sites in Blessington, Dublin, Kildare and Sligo. However, after evaluation of the costs associated, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage decided not to proceed with contract award on a value for money basis.

Plans to redevelop GPO a betrayal of history, says Sinn Féin
Plans approved by the Government to redevelop the GPO in Dublin city have been branded a shameful betrayal of Ireland's proud revolutionary history by Sinn Féin. Earlier this week the Government backed plans to redevelop the GPO into a mixed-use precinct, to include possible retail components, offices, the retention of a post office and significant cultural use. Sinn Féin said the Government wants to turn the GPO into a shopping mall and is turning its back on the rich revolutionary history associated with the building. On RTÉ's This Week, Louise O'Reilly said Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael cannot be trusted on this. "To take the Louvre in Paris for example, they protect and preserve their heritage," she said. "How we treat the GPO is a measure to how we respect and treat the history and culture of our capital city." "This is an issue that is very, very dear to Dubliners and to every person that lives on this island." "This will be resisted," added Deputy O'Reilly. "We're bringing a motion to the Dáil on Tuesday and I would encourage all people to engage with it. We need to preserve the GPO. It is a site of incredible historical importance." In response, Fine Gael's James Geoghegan said that it is the Government's intention that it "would be put into museum, cultural use" . "Of all manufactured rows Sinn Féin has been involved in, this one really takes the biscuit" he said. "The GPO is not the building of any political party," said Deputy Geoghegan. "The GPO is the most important building in the foundation of our state. It's a monument to the heroism of the most ordinary people in this country." "In the GPO, right now, there are 25 retail units along the Henry Street end of the building," he added. "The GPO building is an enormous building. In truth what the building has been, until relatively recent time, has been our general post office. "What we're talking about it how do we make the GPO a place that is filled with people again... and reflects the importance of that building to the foundation of the state."

Housing minister drops plans for €1m social homes
The government has been urged to abandon its 'expensive' approach to social housing and to fund councils directly after it emerged that the cost of building some local authority units has soared to more than €1m. Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin was speaking after it emerged the Department of Housing pulled the plug on the construction of almost 500 social homes in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Sligo after the cost of each home rocketed to over €1m. And the delivery of almost 3,000 new social homes – 2,000 of which are in the capital – will now be delayed after Housing Minister James Browne cancelled several projects about to begin construction over cost concerns. James Browne Pic: Gareth Chaney/ Collins Photos The Construction Industry Federation said the move could threaten the public-private partnership (PPP) model and have implications for major projects such as Metro North. Mr Ó Broin told 'As far back as 2019, Sinn Féin warned that the use of public-private partnerships for social housing delivery did not represent value for money.' The Dublin Mid-West TD said it is 'somewhat ironic that the Government is now collapsing PPP Bundle 3 on value-for-money grounds. 'As a result, up to 3,000 much-needed social homes are delayed'. Eoin Ó Broin. Pic: Niall Carson/PA Wire He added: 'The Government should never have used this model for social delivery. They should abandon this expensive approach entirely and fund the councils directly to deliver these 3,000 homes as a matter of urgency.' Housing Minister James Browne yesterday said he is 'determined to deliver' the social homes. He told 'We are assessing the quickest way to do this while ensuring value for taxpayers' money. I am cutting down on the jungle of red tape that is leading to delays and exceptionally high costs.' Rory Hearne. Pic: Niall Carson/PA Wire However, Social Democrats housing spokesman Rory Hearne said the Coalition 'has gone from incompetence to sabotage'. He told 'In a bizarre, almost GUBU moment, the Government has suspended a delivery project that was going to build almost 500 social homes, almost 200 of which are in my constituency, through public-private partnerships. They were ready to start on site in the coming weeks but the minister has pulled the plug on them. Almost 3,000 social homes are now in jeopardy. 'In fact, the Government spent €8m on developing these projects. Contractors had almost been appointed. The not-for-profit housing bodies had been brought on board. It is absolutely confounding as to how this decision was made. It is beyond comprehension.' Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín added: 'This is another example of drift in how we do housing. There is a need for urgent practical reform, such as ending VAT on houses, that will end this vicious cycle of indolent incompetence.' The latest housing setback comes as the Government is under increasing pressure to remove planning roadblocks that are hindering its pre-election promise to deliver 300,000 new homes by 2030. Pressure is switching from Mr Browne to Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers, whose Accelerating Infrastructure Taskforce is due to deliver its first report over the coming weeks. The Coalition is also under pressure over the delayed implementation of the 906-page planning reform legislation, the Planning and Development Act 2024. Figures supplied by Mr Browne in response to parliamentary queries from Mr Ó Broin reveal just 77 sections of the legislation have so far been introduced. It means that, eight months after the Bill passed, 560 sections of the legislation have still not commenced. Commenting on the chaotic planning, Mr Ó Broin said: 'The crazy thing is, the problem with the Planning Bill of 2000 was that it was too complex. The previous government's solution to this was to replace it with a 900-page Bill with 700 commencements, 200 of which were rushed through.' He added: 'It was all guff and spin. It has been progressing at a snail's pace since. We have ended up with a Frankenstein's monster of unworkable and contradictory legislation. We asked two years ago: will a Bill that is nearly 1,000 pages long resolve this? And we have our answer now.'

Eoin Ó Broin calls for new state regulator to oversee apartment block management companies
Reforms requiring firms to set up sinking funds to deal with unexpected costs should go further, says Sinn Féin housing spokesman Companies in charge of running apartment buildings will be required to set up sinking funds to deal with unexpected costs under new legal changes — but there are calls for reforms to go further. Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin said a new regulator needs to be established to have oversight of the owner management companies (OMCs) managing blocks of flats. He also called for the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) to be given additional powers to take action against agents working for OMCs to manage apartment complexes. OMCs are usually made up of apartment owners. They run common areas and shared services in multi-unit complexes, but under a new remediation scheme for defective apartments they will also be responsible for applying for grant funding and managing repairs for fire safety and water ingress. Some owners want to see a register of OMCs established to give better oversight of the sector. Government reforms will see responsibility for legislation transferred from the Department of Justice to the Department of Housing. It is expected this will also mean responsibility for the PSRA will move to the Department of Housing. Discussions about transferring these responsibilities are ongoing, but sources said the talks have stopped short of proposing a new register and a regulatory body to oversee OMCs. Correspondence between Department of Justice officials, obtained by Mr Ó Broin under Freedom of Information, shows new regulations under the multi-unit development act 'will be made… to ensure that OMCs are financially sustainable'. This will see regulations introduced requiring OMCs to 'provide for expenditure of a non-recurring nature (ie, sinking fund expenditure)', it states. ADVERTISEMENT They will also set out the class of items which may be subject to annual service charges, and set procedures around setting, levying and paying these charges. Mr Ó Broin said he would like to see reforms of the sector go further. There needs to strong regulation of the property services sector 'There needs to be a regulator of the multi-unit development act, where it would oversee and regulate the OMCs and also produce mechanisms where if there is a dispute between OMC members it could be resolved outside of the courts. That is necessary,' he added. 'The PSRA will move to the Department of Housing. 'That should have happened a long time ago and that is relevant because the OMCs — which represent the owners and owner directors — often appoint agents who run complexes. 'They are regulated by the PSRA which has a voluntary code of conduct and no enforcement powers. 'There needs to be not only a regulator for the OMCs, but strong regulation of the property services sector.' A Department of Housing spokesman said the Programme for Government commits to transferring responsibility for the multi-unit development act from the Department of Justice 'to streamline support for owners' management companies and improve oversight'. He added that work collaborating with the Department of Justice in preparing new regulations around service charges and establishing sinking funds 'are now at an advanced stage'.
