Clare's Fianna Fáil TD is calling on the Environment Minister to implement an action plan on the construction of houses to deal with the ongoing housing crisis here.
Figures sent by the National Asset Management Agency to the Dáil's Public Accounts Committee show that of the 101 houses and apartments owned by NAMA in Clare, 54 are vacant; over half its housing stock.
While a further 58 council-owned houses, many in need of refurbishment, are lying idle in the county at a time when there's over 3,300 people on the social housing list.
The Environment Minister is due to bring his long-awaited plan to for dealing with the supply of social housing to the cabinet today and Clare TD Timmy Dooley has described the delay in dealing with the housing crisis as appalling.
