Construction works have commenced at the Common Lifford site in Donegal which will allow for the development of a new social housing scheme.

Once completed, the social housing scheme will include 60 units, new playing fields that will enhance local recreational facilities, sites for economic development creating new job opportunities and new Community Health facilities.

Meanwhile, the enabling infrastructure that will allow for the future development of this site includes the construction of roads, footpaths with cycling provision and infrastructure for water, wastewater, electricity and telecommunications. Works are expected to be complete by end of Q2 2024.
