Community Links Programme - creating opportunity for all

Ballymun Regeneration Ltd (BRL) is the Dublin City Council company, set up in 1997, to plan and implement a regeneration programme which will result in a new town with new and improved facilities for the 30,000 people who will live there. BRL is working with the community to develop and implement the Masterplan for the physical, economic and social regeneration of Ballymun.

Housing
The seven fifteen-storey tower blocks, nineteen eight-storey blocks and ten four-storey blocks of flats will be demolished. They will be replaced by at least 5,000 new homes in a variety of styles and sizes in five existing neighbourhoods.

Economy

The new town is being made economically sustainable through the construction of a traditional style Main Street, with its retail and commercial services, the development of neighbourhood centres with a range of local services; and the development of lands at the M50 for employment generating uses.

Community 

But it's not just about housing. Residents are enjoing the benefits of a multitude of arts, environmental action, recreational and training opportunities which go along with the regeneration. They will also enjoy the new physical infrastructure of parks, arts, and leisure facilities already built, underconstruction or on the drawing board.

As well as contributing annually to the running costs of teh Ballymun Music programme, BRL are in the final stages of building the project a custom designed Music Room. This Music Room cost in excess of €350,000 and will be launched in early 2009.
