Progress at Major Woodlands Development Praised

Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr Philip Brady has hailed the progress made to date on the construction of a 32-unit housing development at Woodlands, Ballyjamesduff during a recent site visit. 

This turnkey development is being constructed for Cavan County Council by Mollmac Developments Ltd, and consists of 16 two-bedroom houses, 12 three-bedroom houses and 4 four-bedroom houses. Local firm Wynne, Gormley, Gilsenan Architects is the lead designer for the scheme. 

The total scheme cost of the 32 units is approximately €8 million, which is being funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government, and Heritage. 

Speaking as he reviewed plans for the development with the construction and project management team, Cathaoirleach Cllr Brady said, “It’s encouraging to see such rapid progress is being made in delivering this significant housing development for the Ballyjamesduff area”.  

“These high-quality homes will prove a welcome addition to the council’s housing stock and will provide 32 households with energy efficient, environmentally friendly homes. I want to thank all of the project team in Cavan County Council’s housing construction section for their ongoing efforts in delivering on our housing goals, and look forward to working alongside them to continue the great progress made to date,” added Cllr Brady. 

Work on the scheme commenced in late 2022 and is due for completion in the fourth quarter of 2024.
