Sinn Féin calls for emergency meeting with council over O’Devaney Gardens site

Sinn Féin has called for an emergency meeting of Dublin City Council to discuss the furore surrounding a supposed housing agreement to redevelop the O’Devaney Gardens site in the north inner city.

Controversy continued to rage after it emerged that a deal announced on November 4 by a group of councillors had not been run by the Department of Housing prior to its agreement, nor had funding for the purchase of units to supposedly build affordable housing been sanctioned by the Government.
