Mr McGrady stated, “Following representations to Oaklee, I understand that
it is progressing social housing units at the site of the former PSNI
station in Castlewellan to provide 6 5-person, 3-bedroom terraced houses
for family occupation.

This will be a welcome boost for those registered for housing in
Castlewellan, providing much needed accommodation for those in housing
stress, and I would like to commend Oaklee for pursuing this scheme.

I know that my Party colleague, Minister Margaret Ritchie, is actively
committed to increasing the supply of housing for those most in need and
tackling housing problems.

I hope that the future residents of this scheme will benefit from safe and
quality accommodation.”
