Council has had to halt redevelopment due to deteriorating condition of homes in Phibsborough
Dublin City Council purchased two derelict Victorian houses in Phibsborough for €700,000 in 2019, planning to redevelop them. However, the project was halted due to the facades crumbling, requiring a structural report that revealed foundation issues. The council now aims to begin work in Q3 2025. The houses were previously on the Derelict Sites Register, removed in 2012, and re-added in 2018 after deterioration. The previous owner, Patrick Joseph Gallagher, had objected to the compulsory purchase but failed to address the issues, leading the council to acquire the properties.
