Local Authority Accommodation
- Local Authority Accommodation
Local Authority Accommodation has been provided in Ireland by the various County Councils and City Corporations along with Urban District Councils.In Dublin the most visible is the Ballymun Flats near Dublin Airport.
Estates of houses have been built around the country at various stages, typically to strict standards.
For example, in the Mulvey Park, Windy Arbour, Dublin estate (now mostly in private ownership), houses boast solid granite windowsills at the front, and solid granite front and back doorsteps. The rear gardens range in length up to approx 50 metres for those backing onto the high wall of the Central Mental Hospital.
A nice feature of the Local Authority Housing is that familiar styles of "Corpo" (Dublin Corporation) or Council houses can be spotted all around the country. In Dolphin's Barn a certain style of house might be built of poured concrete, while in Harold's Cross the same style house might be faced in brick. There might be more subtle differences between these and what are roughly identical houses at say the East Wall. In 2006, the Irish Government budgeted just over €1 billion for social housing needs.
