The Adamstown housing development near Lucan, Co Dublin, has taken two of the top awards in this year's Local Authority Members Association (Lama) awards for projects benefiting the community. The awards, which also paid tribute to an eco-community in Tipperary, a nursing home in Westmeath and a public library in west Dublin, recognise "outstanding contributions and projects of benefit to the community". Adamstown took first place in the Best Private Housing Development and Best Affordable Housing Development categories. The new community of houses and apartments, largely aimed at first-time buyers, is due to have 10,000 homes by 2016. Sales have slowed considerably since the first phase was launched in 2006. The long queues of buyers which greeted that and subsequent launches were absent when the latest phase of 80 units went on sale last September.
