Speaking today, Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis welcomed the start of construction of the development of 49 affordable homes in Poppintree. Speaking after the sod turning ceremony to mark the start of construction, Deputy Ellis said:
“It is great to see this project starting especially by a housing body. Ó Cualann Cohousing Alliance has committed to provide a fully integrated, mixed income, affordable, cooperative housing. I would welcome more opportunities for housing bodies to build in the city with the support of Local Authorities as it is an important contribution in solving our housing crisis.”
