Fatima Mansions (housing)

Fatima Mansions is an extensive public housing complex located in Rialto, Dublin. Construction began in the 1930s but delays meant residents first occupied in 1947. In the early 21st century, the complex underwent a substantial urban renewal programme with the assistance of public and private funding. All existing apartment blocks were demolished to make way for 600 accommodation units, consisting of social, affordable and private housing along with community, business and leisure facilities at a cost of €200 million. The blocks have since been renamed Herberton Apartments, but the area is still referred to locally as Fatima, which is the name of the adjacent Luas Red Line tram stop.
