Cut-price houses for Newtown 05.09.07

Newtowncunningham is in line for 34 new affordable houses at a cost of nearly €5m.
It is hoped the measures will reduce the long waiting list for public housing in the growing town.
The homes, which will be offered to cash-strapped buyers at a much-reduced price to the market value, are being provided with funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Renewal.
The announcement was welcomed yesterday by Deputy Niall Blaney who confirmed that a total of €4.8 million had been allocated for the construction project.
“This housing boost is much needed for Newtowncunningham and I am delighted that this significant funding has been forthcoming," he said.
“The growing population in Newtowncunningham demands these additional housing units.
"There are many young families on the housing list in the area that will be glad to hear of this allocation and I hope that the housing units will be progressed without delay,” he said.
