KILCULLEN: 11 June 2001: by Brian Byrne. A four-home Sheltered Housing Unit was officially dedicated in Kilcullen on Friday evening by the minister for finance, Charlie McCreevy TD.
The homes, at St Brigid's Grove, were provided by the Kilcullen Lions Club, with the aid of £212,000 grant from the Department of the Environment & Local Government under the Voluntary Housing Scheme.
The project was also coordinated with the help of Kildare County Council and the Eastern Health Board.
Minister McCreevy thanked the voluntary workers of the Lions Club for their 'unselfish dedicated work' and said the new homes were an impressive example of what can be achieved with the scheme.
The new occupants of the homes are Daisy Lennon, Jack Delaney, Kitty Hartigan, and Kathleen and Tim Gleeson.
