The average price of a newly built house in Louth is almost €400,000 with disability services that provide residential services cannot get funds to purchase the houses they need, Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú has told the Dáil.
In a debate last week about housing, the Sinn Féin TD said the average price for a new build in Louth is €385,000 – the average price in the State is €321,911, an increase of over 50% since before Covid 19.
Constituents, he said, are telling him that it’s not even the price of rent that is most urgent, it is the fact there is nowhere available to rent.
Deputy O Murchu spoke to us this morning on The Agenda about this.
