I am aware of the need for houses in Edenderry. Last December I approved the appointment of a consultant architect to prepare plans for a housing scheme at Edenderry. I understand that a submission will be made to my Department shortly by the county council, who are considering the possibility of using one of the house types proposed to my Department under the low-cost project for the scheme.
