Social housing projects get €5m in funding

Two local authority housing projects are to be built in Cork City as part of a €5m investment.

The projects are being funded under a €68m house building programme announced by Jan O’Sullivan, the housing minister, earlier this week.

The project will see the construction of a €3.9m 23-unit local authority housing project at Gerald Griffin St and Burke’s Ave, and a €1.2m eight-unit project at Shandon St and John Philpott Curran St.
