Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

This project proposal was not advanced by the AHB in question. Instead, it was advanced by Wexford County Council who reported it as completed in Q3 2019 with 10 new social homes delivered.

This project received funding of over €2.3 million from my Department.

There was no official opening of the project.

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 2019, can be found on my Department’s website at the following link:
