Catherine Murphy

Question:

1201. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the dialogue he has had with Kildare County Council with respect to a housing development, either direct build or turnkey, at a location (details supplied); if a decision has been made in relation to same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45554/18]

Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

My Department has not had dialogue with Kildare County Council regarding a social housing direct build or turnkey project at the location in question.  The advancement of new social housing proposals at local level are matters for the relevant local authorities and it would therefore be for Kildare County Council to bring forward proposals in this regard.
