€7M Allocated To Purchase Vacant Units For Social Housing In Co. Louth

I welcome the announcement today that almost €7m has been provided to purchase vacant units for social housing  in Co. Louth.

€1.7m will be provided for 12 vacant units in Drogheda and €3.1m has been provided to purchase 24 units in Dundalk.

Other projects include 1 unit in Moneymore Drogheda, 7 at Saltown Dundalk and 10 at Barrack St Dundalk 

I have long been calling for additional funding to be provided for social housing units in Co. Louth and I welcome today's announcement which will provide homes to over 50 families in the county. 

At present the waiting time for social  housing is unacceptably long. The funding announced today  is a sign that our economy  is turning a corner and I will continue to advocate for  additional funding for social housing in Co. Louth.
