Dublin City Council currently has a stock of approximately 3000 housing units, of which 1349 Telecare alarm units require monitoring immediately upon awarding to successful tenderer. The remaining units contain a pull cord type system (highlighted in appendix C) will require immediate monitoring services until they are upgraded to the new telecare alarm unit via the government run Pobal programme over a period of time to be agreed between the various stakeholders.
