Carlow social housing U-turn restores 22 homes after local backlash

A last-minute reversal restored 22 homes at the Foran's Way estate in Tullow, Carlow, to social housing after a plan to transfer them to private housing sparked local anger. The decision reverses an earlier policy shift, reflecting political pressure over housing allocation. The episode underscores housing policy volatility in Ireland, though its market impact is minimal.
