Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The advancement of the two social housing construction projects in Co. Sligo which I approved in 2015, including the dates they will start on site, is a matter for Sligo County Council which is managing both projects. My Department has made funding provision for these and other social housing proposals by Sligo County Council and I am very keen to see them advanced to tendering and site commencement as soon as possible.
