Work restarts on modular homes after deal struck with Dublin City Council

Work on a project to provide the first modular homes in the country will resume today after Dublin City Council struck a deal with a number of local people who had been protesting over the plan.

The impasse over the construction of the homes had led to work on the project being suspended last Friday, casting doubt over whether they would be completed in time for Christmas.

The site at Baile na Laochra, Poppintree, north Dublin, is the location for construction of the first 22 modular homes, aimed at housing families and alleviating the homelessness crisis.
