Following my Department providing initial approval in principle for this project in July 2015, I understand from Wexford County Council that it was unable to proceed at that time as it could not obtain a discharge license to cover the site due to issues with waste water in the area.  I further understand that the Council and AHB are now hopeful these issues are being addressed and they will look to re-commence the project.

I am happy to continue my Department's funding support for the project on the basis that the previous issues can be overcome and the development can move forward as soon as possible.

Further information on the project should be available directly from Wexford County Council.

My Department was notified by the local authority that the AHB involved in these proposed sheltered housing projects subsequently decided not to advance them.  

As the sites were owned by the AHB, the local authority did not have the option to develop them directly.
