Tipperary County Council will get funding, including Capital Funding allocations, in respect of the second-hand social housing acquisitions programme for 2025.
The funding also includes provision for new build social homes.
North Tipperary TD Michael Lowry said that the funding allocation shows the Government's commitment to new build social housing as well as increasing the overall social housing supply.
