Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The advancement of the social housing project at Mount Saint Joseph, Chapel Hill, Macroom, County Cork through design, planning and construction is a matter in the first instance for Cork County Council and Anvers Housing Association, which is the approved housing body implementing the project.

I understand that the approved housing body was unable to proceed with their original construction proposal and is currently pursuing alternative options to deliver the units concerned.
