Under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme, funding is provided to local authorities for the construction or acquisition of dwellings to meet social housing need. On 8 November 2012, my Department recouped €380,725 to Wicklow County Council in respect of the acquisition of two properties at the location in question.
