Housing shortfall

Concern was voiced by councillors that Louth County Council was failing to meet the targets set under the accelerated housing programme.

Cllr Emma Coffey noted that their had been a shortfall in the number of houses delivered in 2018 with Cllr Anne Campbell agreeing that they were 6% off target. She wanted to know what the target for housing delivery for 2019. She wondered if the numbers which they didn’t take up last year would be included in next year’s allocation. Senior Executive Aoife Lawlor said that they hadn’t been given any figures for 2019.
