In 2008, my Department has allocated over €1.2 billion to support activity across the country under the social housing investment programme.
The allocations under this programme for the areas in question in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 are outlined in the following table. It should be noted that as Cahir does not have a specific housing authority, the housing need for the town is met under the County Council allocation.
