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.
