Wexford County Council has given the go ahead for the construction of 75 social and affordable houses in Enniscorthy.
They are to be constructed on a site on the Milehouse Road with plans being advanced early in the new year.
Local Fine Gael Councillor Cathal Byrne, is hoping they will be fast tracked under new regulations:
“The Government have recently changed the process that Councils can apply for planning permission and funding for housing from a five point process to a single stage process. So I am urging the Council to avail of this single stage process.”
