Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

My officials understand from DCC that they are considering a new social housing Turnkey proposal at Carraig Airt in Co Donegal. This proposal is separate to one which my Department previously gave initial funding approval. To date my Department has not received this new proposal from the Council but we look forward to receiving further proposals from them and will work with them on any such housing projects. All such social housing projects are the responsibility for our Councils to plan and advance and I have assured them all, including Donegal County Council, that funding is available to support housing projects that are viable and meet housing need.
