Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

My Department has not had dialogue with Kildare County Council regarding a social housing direct build or turnkey project at the location in question.  The advancement of new social housing proposals at local level are matters for the relevant local authorities and it would therefore be for Kildare County Council to bring forward proposals in this regard.
