Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Darragh O'Brien)

The Council concerned reported the 10 social homes at the address mentioned as completed in Q4 of 2021, at a total cost of €2,328,591. The number of new social homes being delivered under this project was increased from 6 to 10.  I visited the development on 20 February 2023.
