As with all Exchequer-supported projects, my Department, as approving authority, assesses each project application for suitability, value for money and compliance with the various requirements of the applicable funding scheme.

No applications submitted by Carlow County Council are awaiting approval.

Kilkenny County Council submitted two proposals for social housing projects in late February, 2025 both of which are currently under evaluation.

My Department continues to approve proposals and work with all relevant stakeholders to deliver social, affordable and cost rental housing at scale.
