Council housing in County Kildare is worth €1 billion
Maintenance
Kildare County Council’s housing stock has been valued at €1 billion.
The figure emerged at a council meeting this week as councillors called on KCC to develop an effective inspection programme for all local housing stock.
Fianna Fail councillors Suzanne Doyle, Brian Dooley, Bernard Caldwell, Noel Heavey and Rob Power said this programme would protect the significant capital investment and reduce ongoing maintenance and repair costs.
They also called for a tenancy incentive scheme which would acknowledge and reward “tenants of good standing.”
Cllr Doyle said regular inspections are needed especially for new houses whereas older houses will be more problematic. Cllr Doyle said the call for an incentive scheme for the €1 billion stock is “well intended” and would ultimately save money.
