Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in Carrigaline, Cork, today to officially open an estate of 69 affordable family homes.

The A-rated homes at Brookhill estate were delivered by Co-operative Housing Ireland (CHI) through a partnership with Cork County Council, the Housing Finance Agency, and Homeland Group. They are powered by heat pumps instead of traditional heating such as gas, and will significantly reduce bills for families.
