Dozens queue for affordable housing

MORE than 30 people have spent almost a week queuing for affordable housing at a time when the Government is boasting of its housing achievements.

The queue at The Belfry, an 80-house South Dublin County Council development at Citywest, began on Good Friday and dozens of people have spent the last number of nights camping out in the hope of securing a home.

Viewing begins on Saturday and the lucky ones will know this weekend if their wait was worth it when offers are made on a “first come, first served” basis.
