The social housing project referred to in the question is being advanced by Galway County Council with funding support from my Department under the Social Housing Investment Programme. I understand that the Council received planning permission for the development from An Bord Pleanála on 26th April 2021.
I look forward therefore, to receiving their pre-tender proposal as soon as possible. Thereafter the timing of the tender process, the appointment of contractors and the completion of the project will be matters for the Council but I am anxious that it is swiftly advanced and I have assured all local authorities that funding is available to support all their social housing delivery projects. Further specific information on the advancement of this project should be available directly from Galway County Council.
