Families on the housing waiting list will be setting up their new homes in Gleann na Greine as the let is agreed on the Stranorlar local authority scheme.
Twenty-one houses were built in the turnkey development at Gleann na Greine at Mullindrait – eighteen 3-bedroom houses and three 4-bedroom houses.
The scheme was purchased under a €2.7 million investment from the government. The housing estate was built by a private developer and bought by the council.
Cathaoirleach of the Stranorlar Municipal District Cllr Patrick McGowan has welcomed the new houses which were let to tenants today (Monday).
He said: “Gleann na Greine is the first housing development in the Stranorlar Municipal District for a very long time and will help with rehousing those with the most need and longest in the waiting list.
“I commend the Council housing staff for acquiring this turnkey development and appeal to Government to cut out a lot of the red tape and give the Council the funding and authority to build or buy more small schemes like this one.
“I wish all the new tenants good health and happiness in their new homes,” said Cllr McGowan.
