Galway TD calls for significant social housing allocation
Galway bay fm newsroom -A Galway West TD says he will make the case to the Minister for housing to allocate a significant portion of the 30 million euro social housing budget to Galway.
Labour TD Derek Nolan says the social housing model in Galway is based on renting which is too short term and more houses need to be built.
There are over 3,400 people waiting for social housing in the city with a further 2,800 people on the waiting list in the county.
Speaking on Galway Talks, Derek Nolan says he will speak with Jan O' Sullivan about an allocation to be used for a targeted social housing programme
