NEARLY 1,300 private homes were built in the County in 2018, reports Brendan Grehan.
At last week’s monthly meeting of South Dublin County Council, Councillor Teresa Costello put down a question asking “how many new homes have been constructed by private developers since 2014 and how many Part V homes have been transferred to the Council by location since 2014.”
