State asked for €500,000 each for six social housing apartments
In total, the taxpayer has been handed a bill of €3.5m for just six social housing apartments to be provided in a proposed development of 63 homes at the back of Oatlands College, Mount Merrion.
The revelation comes a week after Housing Minister Simon Coveney launched his Action Plan for Housing and days after it emerged that Transport Minister Shane Ross has opposed a new housing development in the Mount Merrion area.
