The new units will be built across two sites, Slí Lorcan, Latlorcan (51) and Slí na Coille, Mullaghmatt, Monaghan (21), after Monaghan County Council’s housing section signed off on the plans.
GEDA has teamed up with a local timber frame manufacturing company, IJM Timber Engineering Ltd, to deliver these houses, with the first phase being delivered within 12 months.

The council's housing section are utilising an accelerated design and build contract which encourages modern methods of construction.
Representing GEDA construction at the signing of the contracts, Mr Damian Murray said: "GEDA are delighted to be involved in these two projects, and we look forward to working closely with the housing team in Monaghan County Council in delivering these houses."
Meanwhile, Chief Executive for Monaghan County Council, Mr Robert Burns, added: "This is a good news story for Monaghan in that it will develop two former unfinished housing estates, for much needed social housing, and I am particularly pleased to see the council embracing modern methods of construction to optimise the use of off-site manufacturing materials, techniques and processes to increase the pace and scale of housing delivery."
