Amharc ar fhreagraThe property in question was acquired by an Approved Housing Body with funding provided by my Department under the Capital Assistance Scheme. In July 2012 I announced the allocation of €100 million in capital funding for the provision of over 800 new social and voluntary housing units over the period 2012 to 2014. This property is included in the list of approved projects.
My Department has received a Section 10 funding application in respect of the operation of this property as accommodation for homeless persons. The application is currently being considered by my Department.
