Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Darragh O'Brien)

Tipperary County Council reported this phase of the project as completed in Q3 2020 for 26 new social homes.

This project received funding of approximately €6 million from my Department.

I officially opened this development on 20 February 2023.

My Department publishes quarterly Social Housing Construction Projects Status Reports (CSR), which provide details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes. The CSR setting out the position at end Q3 2020 can be found on my Department’s website at the following link:
