Housing scheme to provide homes for 120 families

Almost 120 families will be housed in a development announced yesterday in Dublin, putting a dent in the growing homelessness crisis in the capital.

Under the scheme, 95 houses and 22 apartments and duplexes will be provided in Finglas by the Túath Housing Association.

The first seven properties will be available to people on the housing list in Dublin within the next month, with the remainder to be completed by September.
