The Minister for Housing, Heritage and Local Government has commended Kerry County Council.
Nearly 800 (796) vacant social homes were brought back into active use in the Kingdom between 2014-2023.
That’s according to Voids Programme figures released by the Department of Housing recently.
The figures also show that almost €10 million was spent to renovate and refurbish the homes.
Making more efficient use of existing housing stock is a key action of the Government’s Housing for All plan.
Minister Darragh O’Brien said he commends Kerry County Councils for working with the Government to bring these homes back into use.
