Insight is an exciting podcast brought to you by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council aiming to demystify the work of the Council, taking you through the various services provided by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

Join us as we talk to the staff involved in different sections and projects across the Council, with episodes focusing on one of the 1,000+ services we deliver to the public.

On this episode, Cathal is joined by two guests - Catherine Keenan and Louise McGauran. Catherine is the Director of Housing in dlr and in her chat with Cathal she covers the various ways in which the Council acquire and provide homes to people, ranging from social housing to cost rental and affordable purchase schemes. Louise is a Senior Planner and in the second part of the episode she sheds some light on how the Council is involved in the private residential sector as well, discussing targets, planning permission, and commencement notices among other topics.

If you want more information on affordable purchase, cost rental, or the various grants that we provide, we’ll be hosting an information evening on November 15th from 4-8pm in the Royal Marine Hotel in Dún Laoghaire.
