Social housing plan for Kerry

Kerry County Council plans to spend €62m in providing 1,058 housing units in the next three years.

That number of houses would be sufficient to accommodate a quarter of the county’s housing list by the end of 2017.

However, some councillors are sceptical about the possibility of meeting such targets, with Independent councillor Danny Healy-Rae saying he is going to frame the council’s social housing strategy and hopes it comes to pass.
