Cllr. Mick Dollard, who complained at Monday’s meeting of Westmeath County Council at what he sees as a serious failure to allocate houses which have been vacated in town estates to other people badly needing a place to live, told Topic this week of one 74 years old person in Mullingar, 16 years on the housing list, who has never been offered a home.
The new Housing for All plan was officially presented to Westmeath County Councillors on Monday of this week, 20 September, at the members’ monthly meeting and while there was a cautious welcome, some members felt that they involve ambitious targets.
