The voluntary housing organisation Cluid has applied to Dublin City Council for planning permission to build Senior Citizen Housing on the grounds of the most precious blood church on Fassaugh Avenue.  They propose to build 43 individual units in a three story building. Full details of the planning application are available here.  The deadline for observations is the 29th January 2013.   This is a welcome, if long overdue, development.  For many years I have campaigned to get DCC to upgrade the existing bedsit type senior citizen housing in the area.  If this new development goes ahead priority should be given to existing local residents with real housing need.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional information.  Mary
