Galway County Council has unanimously approved €66.5 million in housing borrowing requirements to fund critical housing projects.

The loans are subject to approval from the Minister for Housing - and if granted, will enable the delivery of the first affordable cost rental homes in the county.

€25 million will be ringfenced for further development of three affordable housing schemes - Raheen and Pairc na hAbhainn in Athenry and Drum na Gaoithe in Claregalway.

Athenry/Oranmore area Fine Gael councillor Peter Feeney says ambition is important when it comes to tackling the housing crisis.
