A new social housing development comprising 14 newly built two bedroom bungalows has been launched in Ardee, Co Louth.

Designed for the needs of older people, and people with disabilities, the A rated BER homes at Cúirt na gCloch, Stoney Lane, feature level access showers and are fitted with air to heat pumps.

A number of the units have also been allocated under the Safe Home Ireland programme, which assists older Irish born emigrants in returning home to secure accommodation in Ireland.

Additional facilities include the installation of two EV charging points within the development.
