40 housing estates currently remain unfinished

Over 40 housing estates remain unfinished across the country, with three of these in Cork city, despite the high demand for housing.

The Irish Independent reports on a new study from the Department of Housing which notes that 42 'ghost' estates remain in built-up areas, despite an overall reduction across the country.

Three of these estates are in Cork city and NAMA has six such estates under it's control in Cork .

248 estates were resolved around the country last year, with 2,000 homes being used for social housing. 
The Government is expected to buy or lease another 1,300 this year, with a focus on areas where demand for homes is highest.
