There is "no delay" to a key government housing scheme for builders, the housing minister has said.
Speaking at the official opening of 22 new social homes at Ellis Court on Benburb St in Dublin, Darragh O'Brien said that a media report that the €450m Croí Cónaithe (Cities) Scheme, which offers developers up to €144,000 per unit for finishing out apartments in cities, was to be delayed until 2024 was "wrong, quite frankly".
