Of the 137 housing units identified to date by NAMA for social housing use in County Carlow, demand has been confirmed by Carlow County Council for 82 units.

Some 55 of these units have been completed or contracted for social housing use.

My Department, the Housing Agency and NAMA continue to work together with housing authorities and approved housing bodies towards identifying and bringing units into social housing use. It continues to be my Department's objective to maximise the delivery of social housing using all of the resources available for this purpose.
