		Boland: I do not regard the balconies in the Ballymun flats as being inferior in safety standards to those in any of the other housing estates of Dublin Corporation or abroad, and accordingly I do not propose to seek to have them altered.
		I can appreciate that some families with children might be more concerned than others with relative height wherever the flats may be located, but this is a matter for the consideration of the housing authority by whose decision such families are rehoused.
		The opinion is that they are of the same standard of safety at least as other flats and whilst it is not impossible for accidents to take place, my belief is that they are no more likely to take place here than anywhere else.

	Good Practice at Ballymun Regeneration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Ballymun Regeneration Project aims to create a new town in the north Dublin suburb, which is sustainable economically, socially, environmentally and physically, while preserving the existing community, working with the existing tenants and providing the type of town that suits their needs.
		Old Ballymun failed due to a combination of inadequate facilities and poorly designed and constructed high-rise tower blocks, with inherent defects both structurally and in terms of energy conservation, which proved difficult to manage and maintain, leading to a high turnover of tenants, many vacant flats, high levels of unemployment and drugs problems.
		At present, the residents pay a flat weekly rate for space heating and domestic hot water and the cost of operation the central heating system is highly subsidised by Dublin City Council.
