Local housing projects approved with €1-billion fund - Lowry
Tipperary and Kilkenny Projects approved under €1-billion housing fund, says Michael Lowry TD
North Tipperary Deputy, Michael Lowry TD has welcomed €30 million for projects in Tipperary and Kilkenny under the Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund (HIIF), saying the approved projects will help deliver homes for local communities.
Deputy Lowry said the funding reflects the work of Independents supporting Government in ensuring the roads, water, wastewater and energy infrastructure needed for housing gets built.
The Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund (HIIF) was established under the new housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025–2030.
The fund targets public infrastructure to unlock housing across Ireland, covering transport, water, wastewater, energy and other works required under local development plans.
Nationally 82 projects have been approved under Call 1, with the potential to directly unlock approximately 86,000 homes and indirectly support a further 113,000.
Michael Lowry said the projects must now move to procurement and construction without delay, and called on Tipperary and Kilkenny County Councils to progress as quickly as possible.
