Redevelopment work at St. Mary's Mansions in Dublin's North East inner city has been completed.

Clúid Housing welcomed the first residents back following the extensive redevelopment of the 70-year-old inner city flat complex. The project is the result of a three year regeneration delivered in partnership with Dublin City Council, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Dublin's North East Inner City (NEIC), the European Investment Bank (EIB), Ganson, the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) and Inner City Organisations Network (ICON).

Clúid Housing's New Business Director, Fiona Cormican said: "The regeneration of St. Mary's Mansions represents the beginning of a new chapter in the story of this part of the city. I have been involved with the community in Dublin's North East inner city for many, many years now and seeing our residents receive the keys to their new home here today is a truly incredible experience."

Fianna Fáil Senator Mary Fitzpatrick said: "It's great to see public housing again being built in the north inner city and it's only just the beginning of what we hope to achieve in the coming years. Fianna Fáil wants to prioritise the building of public housing again. Owning a home should not be a dream but instead a reality for people.

"This regeneration project is an important step forward in how we hope that more affordable housing can be achieved, and indeed public housing built on public land."
