Councillor Lucy McRoberts, on behalf of Lord Mayor Oisín Quinn, has unveiled a plaque to the residents of Alfie Byrne House and Avondale House, Dublin 1, to celebrate the recent refurbishment works in both complexes.

The design of both schemes resulted from a detailed consultation programme with the residents from each complex. The City Council completed significant improvement works in both complexes on time. Works in Avondale House began in June 2012 and were completed in June 2013, while works in Alfie Byrne House/Hill Street flats complex began in March 2012 and were completed in January 2013.

The successful completion of the works was due to the co-operation between the residents, City Council project teams, contractors and staff at the local area office.

Dick Brady, Assistant City Manager, Central Area spoke of the project: "We are delighted with the works that have been carried out in both Alfie Byrne House and Avondale House. The contractors did a fantastic job and made considerable improvements to both complexes. I would personally like to commend the residents in both complexes on the trust and patience they have shown to all involved to see the process through a successful conclusion."
