Councillors query long-term lease deal for 124 apartments at car park of former Regency Hotel

The Council will not own the apartments at the end of the 25-year lease.

The Department of Housing recently signed off on the leasing deal between the Council and the developer, Cónal Thomas reports.

The move comes amid criticism of the State's reliance on expensive social housing leases.

Sinn Féin's Eoin O'Broin said "these kinds of expensive long-term leases are bad for social housing tenants."
