More Family Homes Needed for Dublin Rathdown

Dublin Rathdown is truly a wonderful place to call home. With our friendly community, excellent schools, and beautiful green spaces, it’s no wonder so many of us want to stay and raise our families here. However, I know that finding suitable family-sized homes is becoming increasingly challenging.

While initiatives like Help to Buy, First Home, and Local Authority Affordable Purchase schemes are certainly helpful, they don’t fully address a critical issue: the shortage of three- and four-bedroom homes in new developments. Many of our new builds focus on smaller homes and apartments, which simply don’t meet the needs of growing families.

We need to prioritise family homes in our future developments. These homes are essential not just for our families, but also for supporting our local schools and services, and for nurturing the community spirit that makes Dublin Rathdown such a special place to live. Together, let’s work to ensure our community remains vibrant and welcoming for generations to come.
