The project in question was submitted to my Department as part of a prioritised list of proposals from Tipperary County Council, for funding under the Capital Assistance Scheme. In July 2015, I announced funding approval of over €150 million nationally under the Scheme, to deliver over 1,000 new social housing units. This included 27 new units across 6 projects that were prioritised by Tipperary County Council, at an overall cost of €3.637 million. While the project in question was not announced for funding approval at that time, it remains under consideration. My Department has sought clarification in relation to a number of aspects of the project and it will be further considered when responses are received.
