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

Tipperary County Council reported the 2 units on this scheme as completed in Q4 of 2018.  The project received funding of €290,498 from my Department.

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 Q4 2018 can be found on my Department’s website at the following link:

I understand that this scheme was not visited or officially opened by a Minister.
