Housing associations 'need Land Development Agency to help' provide social homes

The Irish Council for Social Housing has said its members helped deliver four in 10 new social homes last year.

Update: The chief executive of the Irish Council for Social Housing (ICSH) is calling on the Land Development Agency to provide more land to housing associations to build social housing, writes Vivienne Clarke.

Dr Donal McManus said that the biggest obstacle to building more social housing is the lack of suitable land.
