€5m fund to clean up ‘ghost estates’
Housing Minster Michael Finneran announced that 348 of the worst “ghost estates” are to benefit from a special €5 million fund to be used for the purpose of securing dangerous sites as well as completing footpaths and street lighting on unfinished housing developments.
All the estates earmarked to benefit from the fund are less than 50% occupied and account for up to 8,000 houses and apartments.
