Government launches new scheme to kickstart apartment construction
A Government scheme worth almost half a billion euro in funding has gone to tender. The Croí Cónaithe scheme aims at delivering 5,000 new apartments in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. This is the third time the Housing Agency has made a call for developments under this scheme with five contracts signed so far for a total of 582 apartments. The aim of this scheme is to bridge the gap between the cost of building apartments and the market sale price.
