Limerick councillors' concerns about social housing ‘completely ignored’ – mayor Reporter: '); '); A PRESENTATION by council staff on planned housing developments for the Newcastle West municipal district became heated. Information was being given on the Rebuilding Ireland Programme at last month’s local area meeting. When details were being given about a 30 unit social housing development in Woodfield, Newcastle West, Cllr John Sheahan was first to raise concerns of local residents. He asked who the provider is to be and was told Cluid – an authorised housing body (AHB). The meeting heard that the council were supportive of AHB (Authorised Housing Bodies) applications to build once they have demonstrated there was a need.
