Dublin Bay North Labour TD Sean Kenny has welcomed the rebuilding of Buttercup Park in Darndale as part of a €68m two year local authority house building initiative.

"Buttercup in Darndale will see a €7.9m investment under the initiative which will produce 35 new homes. This funding is an investment that adds to a range of regeneration works that the Department of the Environment and Dublin City Council have undertaken in Darndale over recent years."

"I have been pushing very hard for the Government to release this funding for Buttercup Park and I know that Minister Jan O'Sullivan has been in agreement with me on the need for Buttercup to be rebuilt. The Buttercup project has been stalled since 2010 when the then Fianna Fail government failed to provide funding."

"I am very grateful to Minister O'Sullivan for her hard work in the area of local authority housing and I beleive she is doing excellent work as a Labour Party minister, which means Labour delivering for Darndale, and for communities across the country."
