Taoiseach Enda Kenny has welcomed the announcement by Minister of State for Housing and Planning Development, Jan O'Sullivan, that Mayo is to receive an allocation of €190,000 in 2013 under the Energy Efficiency programme for local authority houses.
The Taoiseach said that the announcement “is good news for many of Mayo’s low income families and will bring about both better insulated homes and a reduction in bill costs. It is also very good news in terms of local employment with a total of 1,000 jobs to be created around the country for the programme’s duration, giving a much needed boost to Mayo’s skilled jobs market.”
