Approximately 71 new social housing builds have been delivered in Clonsilla and Balbriggan over the past few weeks.

A total of 51 homes were provided by Co-operative Housing Ireland and Respond Housing Association, with the remaining 20 built by Fingal County Council.

The new builds take the number of social housing homes provided by the Council's Housing and Community Department this year to 122. A further 198 homes are also under construction at seven sites across the county.

The homes have been built to the highest specifications and received an A3 energy rating.

"This is the second rapid build development that we have completed inside the past eight months and there is no doubt that it certainly helping to deliver homes a lot quicker and to a very high standard of specification," said Margaret Geraghty, Director of Housing and Community at Fingal County Council. "We are leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to provide more social housing and reduce our housing list. Our partnerships with Approved Housing Bodies is an important part of our overall strategy and we are delighted that they have been able to deliver a further 51 houses in recent weeks."
