One million euro investment announced for six new social houses in Elphin

One million euro is being invested in the development of six new social houses in Elphin.

Roscommon County Council made the application and is being approved for four, 2-bedroom and two 3-bedroom homes in the town.

Senator Eugene Murphy who has been informed of the development by Housing Minister Darragh O Brien says it’s a significant development in getting back to local authorities building houses in rural areas.

He says it will greatly address a shortage of homes for people on the housing list in north Roscommon.
