Kildare County Council has marked the completion of a new development of ten housing units at Ard Sceach, Coill Dubh.
The units which were under 'Housing for All – a New Housing Plan for Ireland', includes four 1-bedroom properties as well three two-bedroom properties and three-bedroom houses. The properties have an A energy rating and are finished to a high standard with highly insulated and airtight mechanical ventilation systems and using heat-pump technology and economical heating control systems. In addition, the unit types delivered in the scheme facilitate right sizing and the provision of adaptable units.
The plan provides essential social housing units in an area conveniently connected to existing public transport and vital infrastructure.
Cathaoirleach of the County of Kildare, Cllr Daragh Fitzpatrick said: "I am delighted to be with you all today to celebrate the completion of these fantastic new homes. I’d like to take the opportunity today to thank the elected members of Kildare County Council for supporting this project, and the broader Housing for All scheme, which is helping to deliver much-needed social housing, for those that need it most, throughout the county."
Annette Aspell, Kildare County Council, Director of Services for Housing & Regeneration stated: "We are delighted to reach this important milestone, to mark the completion of 10 much needed new residential units in Kildare. The Ard Sceach development has been funded and delivered under the Housing for All – a new Housing Plan for Ireland scheme. In Kildare County Council, we are committed to delivering our targets under this scheme, providing housing right across the county, and the 10 units we’re unveiling today are a demonstration of that commitment."
