A resident at Weirview housing estate in Kilkenny says they have no problem with social housing being introduced there.
But they think using 41 vacant units for that purpose might be excessive.
Theres a proposal to use the unfinished homes at the private estate to house some of the thousands on the housing list in Kilkenny city and county.
Maria Kealy – a resident there – says there’s no objection to social housing but they’re not happy that the proposal wasn’t discussed with them first.
