Housing:
Housing consistently ranks as a top priority in our Business Sentiment Survey. In this regard we invited Fingal County Council’s Interim Director of Housing and Community Services to present at our October meeting.
We learned of the vast amount of housing that is underway in the Fingal, particularly in the Churchfields and Donabate areas to address the current deficit and details of the qualification for housing grants.
Some discussion took place around the importance of transport capacity matching the large growth in residential areas to avoid further congestion on the road network in Fingal.
Many businesses in the region struggle to attract employees due to a shortage of affordable housing and accommodation. Fingal County Council offers a wide range of housing services and information on its website, which may be helpful for businesses to share with prospective employees.
