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

My Department publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides details of social housing developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of design and tender processes. The most recent CSR (Quarter 4 2022) and previous reports are available at the following links:

The project referred to was completed in October 2018 with one new home delivered. A budget of €336k was approved for this project. I understand that the development was not officially opened by a Minister.
