I cannot understand why County Louth was not included. That is the nub of the question, particularly when the information that was forwarded was that there were 20 applicants for every single house, rents were spiralling out of control and the council said the rents were unaffordable. What was the reason it could not be recommended that housing in County Louth be looked whereas other areas that did have the same issues were recommended?
