Dublin City Council has opened 26 new social homes on York Road in Dublin 4, delivered in partnership with QCC Properties and funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The scheme was launched by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daryl Barron, in the presence of the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Jim O'Callaghan TD, alongside public representatives, Council officials and residents.

Developed by QCC Properties, the A-rated apartments comprise a mix of one- and two-bedroom homes designed for sustainable, comfortable, modern living with a strong focus on fostering community.

Located close to Ringsend Park and Ringsend Library, the development benefits from access to green space and community facilities, as well as the cultural and recreational amenities of the Grand Canal Dock area. Excellent public transport connections provide convenient links to the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods, supporting access to employment, education and services.

The homes are fully occupied, with new residents settling in and community ties beginning to take shape.
