Ardmore to gain almost 100 homes but more needed, warns advocate

Last November a meeting heard how young people were leaving Ardmore in search of housing while more than 60% of its properties were holiday homes that lay vacant for most of the year.

Less than a year since a public meeting warned that a housing shortage was “killing Ardmore” in Co Waterford, the latest planning permission granted brings the number of housing units green lit this year to 97.

A further application for 26 houses is pending approval by Waterford City and County Council.
