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

This project proposal was reported as completed by Wexford County Council in Q4 2021 with 1 new social home delivered.  This project received funding of €234,345 from my Department.

There was no official opening of the project.

My Department publishes quarterly Social Housing Construction Project 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 full set of published CSRs can be found at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/cb885-social-housing-construction-projects-status-reports/.
