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/

This social housing construction project was reported as completed by Meath County Council in Q2 2018, with 32 new social homes delivered at a cost of €8,524,328.  There was an official opening of the project in August 2018 by Damien English TD, then Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
