Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / August 9 2004: €150m plan to redevelop Fatima Mansions announced

Details of the €150 million redevelopment of Fatima Mansions in Dublin's inner city were announced yesterday afternoon. "More than anything else it's having my own little garden, my own little patch, that I'm looking forward to," said resident Ms Alice Connell. A year ago she watched as the flats complex she lived in for most of her life was demolished. Work on the first phase of new homes begins later this week and Ms Connell hopes to be moved in by early next year. "I am looking forward to it so much. I don't have green fingers but I'll still try growing some flowers in my new garden. I'll be able to keep an eye on the children, and not have to worry about syringes anymore." Fatima Mansions consisted of 363 residential flats in 14 blocks built in the 1950s.
