Where were the objections from Waterford City Council, Carrick and New Ross who all had objections in against the original, smaller, plan? If this had gone to Bord Pleanála, it would have been rejected out of hand.

What planet are these councillors on especially when you take into account the current shortages.

Was it a SF councillor by any chance ? NAMA Has delivered 44 Social Houses in Ferrybank (that I personally know of) in the Past 18-24 Months Out of the 44 Units - three remain empty and unoccupied even though they are fully furnished and waiting for occupants since January ! If Demand was an issue I am sure these units would be occupied by now. A quick look on the NAMA Social Housing website shows that Nama has Identified 183 Houses that they could make available for social housing in Co Kilkenny, The Council Confirmed that theres only a Demand for 63 Units and which 57 of that 63 have now been delivered to date. (The latter figures are from Dec 2015 and do not include the unoccupied units delivered since Jan)
Max Powers wrote: » Ff and Sf councillors.fair play on getting those nama figures but who owns what houses..kk or Waterford councils either way, unless one council had a big over supply, they are hardly going to hand over houses if the other does not adequately invest in the area.I know Waterford council has numerous houses in that area, is that the 63 you refer to.
