This project was submitted to my Department for funding approval by Kerry County Council in response to a call for proposals for new voluntary housing projects which issued to local authorities on 7 June 2012. Voluntary housing projects to the value of €34.5 million were approved under the call, including one project in County Kerry costing an estimated €1.017 million.
Having regard to the large number of applications received and the limited funding available, it was not possible to approve the Camphill Community Housing project in Dingle at this time.
