More than 50 new social homes are to be built at St. Teresa's Gardens in Dublin.

The 54-home scheme will get underway in the coming months after Housing Minister Damien English launched the St Teresa's Gardens Regeneration Board Strategic Plan 2018-2021 today, 20 September.

Commissioned in 2017, the three-year plan outlines how the Regeneration Board and the staff team will work to ensure the progression of the regeneration project for St. Teresa's Gardens in a timely and positive manner.

Welcoming the efforts of Dublin City Council and The Regeneration Board, Minister English said: "I commend the work of the City Council in preparing, consulting and adopting the Development Framework for St Teresa's Gardens and the invaluable role of the Regeneration Board in ensuring the support of the community for the development of the site.

"Regeneration goes beyond mere bricks and mortar. In order to be successful and sustainable in the long term, a regeneration project requires the re-building of a community and a strengthening of community bonds, which is where social regeneration projects and community groups have an important role to play."
