In December 2016, my Department issued Stage 1 approval for the acquisition and refurbishment of the housing project referred to by the Deputy, with an approved budget of €1.175m. The scope of the project has since been altered by the Approved Housing Body and a revised Capital Appraisal (Stage 1) was received, initially in January 2019, with further options also being provided since then. The revised project is showing substantial cost increases from the initial budget approval and my Department is liaising with Galway County Council in this regard.
