Two new housing schemes are being developed, one at Mount St Mary's featuring cost-rental and affordable purchase units, and the other at Blackglen Road, both addressing housing shortages. The Mount St Mary's scheme includes 129 units and claims to offer a blend of housing types while raising concerns regarding parking availability, with only 65 spaces provided. Councillors voiced opinions on the adequacy of parking spaces, emphasizing the need for suitable car storage to encourage families to settle into these developments as their permanent residences.
Councillor Michael Clark expressed concerns about the parking availability, stating that 65 spaces for 129 units is insufficient for potential long-term residents, stating people won't see these as their 'forever home' if car storage is inadequate.
Councillor Oisín O'Connor acknowledged the need for parking but highlighted potential issues with affordability if more spaces were added, indicating a balance must be struck between development and costs.
