flag Dublin launches pilot to turn vacant buildings into affordable homes for essential workers.

flag Dublin City Council has launched a three-year pilot program to convert vacant and derelict buildings on Middle Abbey Street and North Frederick Street into affordable rental homes for essential workers like gardaí, nurses, and teachers. flag The initiative, part of a broader urban renewal strategy, offers support and incentives to property owners to redevelop underused spaces, with enforcement actions, including potential compulsory acquisition, for non-cooperative owners. flag A digital mapping effort will assess building conditions and redevelopment potential, supporting data-driven decisions. flag The project aligns with recommendations from the €1 billion Taskforce for Dublin and could be expanded citywide if successful.
