Clane Residents Association
The Clane Residents Association continues to make positive progress within the community. The committee has now submitted a proposal to the NDFA outlining a few ideas and initiatives aimed at enhancing and improving the estate for all residents.
In addition, the Residents Association has been awarded €1,000 in funding to support activities and projects for the remainder of the year. The committee is already busy planning a range of exciting community events, with special celebrations being organised for Halloween and Christmas.
We would like to thank the Clane Residents Association members for their ongoing commitment, enthusiasm, and dedication to building a vibrant and connected community. We look forward to seeing these plans come to life and to bringing residents together through the upcoming events.

TORC Annual Unit inspections 2026
Each year, TORC carries out an annual inspection on each of our 465 properties to ensure that we provide safe, efficient, durable, comfortable and sustainable homes for our tenants. The 2026 house inspections begin next month in April and all schemes will be completed by August. Some important information to remember:
TORC will give a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice by letter to let you know the date and time-frame of your inspection.
If you are not going to be home or need a specific time for an appointment, please let us know in advance of your inspection.
HSCOs understand your home is where you live, we do not expect to walk into showrooms.
During the inspection a members of TORC staff may take pictures – these are used as a visual record of the condition of the property over the lifecycle of your home. They are also used to assist with logging any repairs.
Where a person is under 18 and is at home alone, we cannot complete an inspection without your previous permission/consent.
