Housing Minister determined to avoid bad planning of the past
The Minister for Housing says he's determined to avoid bad planning of the past in future social housing developments.
Minister Simon Coveney says his plans for thousands of new homes will be built in mixed public private developments.
Over 150 homes are expected to be constructed by the end of the year as part of the Public Private Partnership in Clonakilty, Skibbereen and Macroom.
It comes as a new Savills report says rents will rise by 14 per cent in Cork by the end of 2018.
Minister Coveney says planning is key to solving the housing crisis:
