Morris welcomes 9.

57 Million funding for Tipperary County Council to construct

60 homes
I would like to welcome the 9.57 million euros which has been announced to be
used for a number of social house construction projects in Tipperary . I am
particularly pleased that 1,436,935 euros has been dedicated to constructing 9
social housing units of various sizes in Mulkear View in Newport . Mulkear View
has plenty of potential and I commend Tipperary county council for putting this
project forward along with the town park project which is now one step nearer
thanks to this announcement. I want to commend the people of Newport for their
patience. I would ask Tipperary county council to think outside the box when
allocating these units as I feel that young families who are earning just over
35,000 but yet cannot get on our council list should be thought of otherwise they
are condemned to a life of renting.
I would also like to say that I am aware of housing needs right across the Nenagh
Municipal area and I feel that where Tipperary county council owns land we
should be putting forward proposals for further funding . For instance Tipperary
county council has recently purchased 40 acres of land for housing at Streame in
Nenagh and I would like some social housing included in the Master plan for the
area. Yours sincerely Cllr. Samie Morris M C C 08/02/17
