Jason Murphy, Director of Services, Social Development Directorate, said: "We are pleased to finalise this contract for the development of 16 new homes in Kilrush. These new homes will provide quality, sustainable housing and will also contribute to the regeneration of Moore Street, bringing life back to buildings which have been vacant for some time. We are excited to see this project come to fruition and continue to support the housing needs of our rural communities."
