Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The advancement through design, planning and construction of the social housing project concerned is a matter in the first instance for the County Council.

The Council forwarded the outcome of the tendering process for the construction of this project to my Department in recent days and this is now being assessed with a view to responding to the Council shortly.
