Westmeath County Council are currently undertaking a pilot phase involving refurbishment work to ten of their rented houses at Ennell Court in Mullingar which is being funded under my Department's Remedial Works Scheme. My Department is forwardly disposed to fund further phases of the overall project provided a positive evaluation of the pilot project is forthcoming in terms of suitability of the programme of works, and its cost and impact on the regeneration of the area.
