Work will begin next month on almost 1,000 homes at the former Central Mental Hospital site, even if another judicial review is launched. The Land Development Agency intends to proceed despite the prospect of further legal challenge. The development has been delayed for more than two years. Overall costs have increased by €30m during the delay. An individual objector filed judicial review proceedings in May 2023, prompting the earlier pauses and additional expense. The decision to start works signals a push to advance housing delivery despite ongoing legal uncertainty. The move aims to address housing supply while managing legal and financial risks.
