Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

I recently approved funding under my Department's Social Housing Investment Programme for the construction of three rural houses in County Kerry over the period 2012 – 2014. It is a matter for Kerry County Council to decide on the location and future tenancy arrangements for these properties.
