New 42-Unit Housing Scheme for Thomastown, Kilkenny

Kilkenny County Council has announced a new 42-unit housing scheme at Abbeyhill, Ladywell Street, Thomastown.

The project will provide 42 social and affordable housing units, featuring a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom units to cater to various housing needs. The development will rejuvenate a disused 1.24-hectare site and will bring a whole new community within walking distance of the town centre.

We are delighted to break ground on this much-needed housing scheme in Thomastown and look forward to working with Ormonde Construction on this project,” said Lar Power, chief executive of Kilkenny County Council.

“The new units will cater to a diverse range of residents, ensuring that families, individuals, and those with special needs have access to safe and comfortable homes.”

Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council, Cllr. Michael McCarthy, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “This development is a testament to our ongoing efforts to provide essential housing solutions for our community. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have on the lives of many residents.”

The project is part of the Housing for All Programme, with construction expected to be completed by early 2026.
