urban regeneration

Londonderry's troubled urban regeneration company Ilex is to be axed next year after failing to bring in the expected private investment in the redevelopment of two former barracks, Ebrington and Fort George.

Local authorities and community groups in Ireland have been given an €80m fund to help rejuvenate urban areas.

Ireland’s Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015 has been passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas and is now on the statute book.

The government’s flagship Urban Regeneration & Housing Bill, which proposes changes to the affordable homes regime and introduces a vacant site levy scheme, had its second reading in the Dail this week and will now be considered by a parliamentary sub-committee.
