A proposal was received from Clúid Housing Association under my Department's Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) in April, 2009 to provide 11 housing units at Ardagh, County Limerick, costing an estimated €2.350 million. Due to the high level of capital commitments on approved projects at that time and the competing demands for the available funding the proposal was not approved. In the interim, a decision was made to discontinue the CLSS.

In June 2010, my Department issued a Call For Proposals under the Capital Assistance Scheme to approved housing bodies to submit, through the relevant local authority, proposals for meeting the accommodation needs of persons with specific categories of housing need, including older persons and persons with a disability. No such proposal was received in respect of a housing scheme for the elderly at Ardagh.
