New houses for Callan welcomed
Cllr Stephanie Doheny has welcomed the announcement that 19 new two-storey houses will be built in Friary Walk, Callan.
“I know better than anyone the struggle it is to find housing in Kilkenny due to the absolute failure of successive Fianna Fail and Fine Gael government housing policy," the Sinn Féin councillor said, speaking following confirmation of this new development.
“I am really pleased to see this development will now go ahead and provide much needed homes for people in the Callan area.
“It’s great to see developments like these ones in Friary Walk getting the green light, I hope the council will consider purchasing some of these houses to alleviate the significant housing list in Kilkenny and I will be bringing this up.
“Recently my colleague in Dail Eireann, Eoin O’Broin released the a radical re-think of housing in this State, Eoin’s plan ‘would make homes affordable and bring home ownership back into the reach of working people, and that it is comprehensive, fully costed and ready to go from day one in government’.
