Focus is now shifting to upcoming sites under the control of Kildare County Council's Land Development Agency.
Calls are growing for Kildare County Council to ensure so-called affordable homes built on public land are priced below €360,000, as frustration mounts over the definition of “affordable” in new housing schemes.
It follows the controversy at Lattin Place in Naas, where some homes were priced at €370,000, just beyond the reach of many local buyers using the State-backed loan scheme - including full-time working families.
Focus is now shifting to upcoming sites under the control of the Land Development Agency.
One of these is planned near Kildare County Council as a mixed tenure development - incorporating affordable, social, and cost-rental housing - with two further council-owned Naas sites also zoned specifically for affordable housing.
Comparisons are being made to Clonburris near Clondalkin, where four-bedroom homes were successfully delivered for €355,000 under the affordable housing scheme.
Speaking to Kfm, Cllr Evie Sammon (FG) said homes at Lattin Place were "developer led" but homes on council-owned land should not exceed more than €360,000.
