The Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council says the budget for 2023 was fully supported by all councillors.

"Getting the existing housing stock up to standard and minimising the number of vacant houses in essential but the key component in addressing the housing waiting list is building new homes. Cavan County Council have an ambitious programme of building new houses but much more needs to be done to allow local authorities build more houses for those eligible for local authority housing as well as to stimulate the private sector to build more quality houses throughout our county."
