Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

In response to a request from Wicklow County Council , I recently approved Exchequer funding support for the continuation of a significant programme of upgrade works to the social housing units at Oldcourt Estate, Bray, County Wicklow.

As is normally the case, works to private homes, including those at Oldcourt Estate, is a matter for the individual private owners involved.
