Erin McGreehan (Louth, Fianna Fail)

The Land Development Agency claims it is committed to meeting the need for affordable homes for purchase and rent across the country. In Dundalk, we have had no workable affordable housing scheme available to the people of Louth as yet. We have three sites identified at which the LDA says it can build up to 1,000 homes. To date, we have seen no real action on making this a reality. Dundalk is a thriving town and a home of very important economic growth for the country. Housing is key to unlocking more growth in the area. I want the Government to make Dundalk and towns like Dundalk a priority by ensuring that they have affordable housing schemes.
