240 families to benefit from council’s insulation initiative

More than 240 families renting council houses in North Cork will be feeling a lot cosier this winter following the announcement that insulation and draft-proofing works are to start on their homes.

Each house will also get an updated BER certification, as part of a programme mainly funded by the Local Property Tax, with an extra top-up by the Exchequer.

It is part of a €1.6m programme the council is initiating in its housing stock throughout the county.
