Cllr Annemarie Ryan told Tipperary County Council's September meeting not enough social housing is being built in her hometown to cater for the demand with 231 applicants from the town on the housing waiting list
Tipperary County Council has been bluntly told there isn’t enough social housing being built in Tipp Town where over 230 applicants are waiting for a council home.
This was the message Sinn Féin Cllr Annemarie Ryan gave to the Council’s Housing Section Director Jonathan Cooney at the council’s monthly meeting.
She told the meeting there are currently two social housing scheme being built in Tipperary and she was aware the not-for-profit housing body Clúid was developing 16 housing units.
With 231 applicants from Tipperary Town on the social housing list, two council housing projects was “totally inadequate” and she called on the council to consider building more schemes in the town.
