Interior of Apartment in Irish House facing the Main Street.
Tipperary County Council is seeking expressions of interest via the Choice Based Letting Portal from people on the Housing List in respect of two one bed apartments in the Irish House on Main Street, Tipperary town. The building has been significantly refurbished and the upper floors now offer 6 apartments and storage space for each apartment provided in the former school cloakrooms. It is understood that Focus Ireland may manage the tenancies. It is unclear as of now how the other 4 apartments may be allocated – in some times the Council have persons in dire need of accommodation and may have already selected tenants for the new homes from the Social Housing list. There are three apartments on the first floor and three on the third floor. Some of the apartments face onto Main Street while the others have views of Mitchel Street. The apartments are accessed via a stairs. A commercial operator is to establish a business on the ground floor at street level. The apartments are accessed through a door to the right of the business entrance. The building was refurbished by Abercorn Developments.
The Council is also seeking expressions of interest for two 3 bedroomed houses in Killenaule. The Choice Based Letting system is intended to speed up the allocation of social housing by allowing multiple parties to express interest simultaneously. The Council is also urging interested parties to ensure they complete the “Checkout Process” on the portal and highlight that the closing date to express interest is Monday February 19th 2024. Tipperary Council Housing Section can be contacted by telephoning 0818 06 5000 during office hours 9.30am – 4.30pm.
