Cabhrú has already issued tenders for demolition of McSweeney House on Berkeley Street in Phibsborough
McSweeney House: Cabhrú in 2019 secured planning permission to demolish a 1980s senior citizen complex of 21 one-bedroom apartments built on council-owned land and replace them with a new building of 35 one-bedroom apartments.A senior citizens housing charity, whose property on Berkeley Street in Dublin 7 was until recently occupied by housing activists, says it has sought bids for the demolition of the building in anticipation of sanction from Dublin City Council for a new housing scheme.
However, Cabhrú said it had already issued a tender for the demolition of the building two weeks ago. It intends to start demolition in October and be completed before the end of January. “A separate tender, for the construction of the new building, will be issued in October this year and it is planned that these works will commence in March 2024 and be completed by the end of 2025,” it said.
Gardaí last month removed a number of people who had been occupying the building following a court order secured by Cabhrú. The court heard some of the occupants were asylum seekers who had previously been sleeping in unsafe conditions in tents. The building has now been secured with steel plates against re-entry but the charity is anxious to get development under way.
