Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will make emergency funding available to North Tipperary County Council to purchase housing in the Ashbury development in Roscrea which is urgently required for the provision of social housing in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThis year my Department has allocated in excess of €3 million to North Tipperary County Council in respect of the measures included in the Social Housing Investment Programme for 2013. This includes €273,000 for the purchase of houses in Nenagh and Roscrea. Having regard to the high level of commitments under the housing programme at this time my Department is not in a position to approve further funding for the purchase of houses in Ashbury, Roscrea.
