New social housing tenants in Rathlin Island reported they are 100% satisfied with their new homes.

The properties are located at Gort Beag and were delivered by Apex Housing Association.

Social Development Minister, Mervyn Storey MLA, recently visited the site.

He said: "The investment from my Department and Apex Housing Association has helped to develop a thriving community, who I am delighted to hear are very pleased with their new homes. They have given the scheme a big vote of confidence in the recent Tenant Satisfaction Survey and I can certainly see why.

"The properties have been completed to a very high standard and I understand they offer excellent fuel efficiency with the majority of tenants experiencing a reduction in heating costs."

Gort Beag, the first new social housing scheme to be built on Rathlin Island in almost two decades, was officially opened in October 2013.
