Local TD Michael Fitzmaurice has branded the cost of modular homes for Ukrainian refugees as ‘scandalous’ after the price tag more than doubled.
It comes after a report from the Comptroller and Auditor General revealed the estimated price of a modular home increased from €200,000 to €440,000.

The government plan provided for 650 modular homes as part of it’s rapid build housing programme – including 64 in Pollboy, Ballinasloe.
Due to increases in scale, contractor expenses and inflation, the estimated cost of the national project rose to €300 million – far exceeding the €100 million initially approved.
Independent Ireland TD for Galway/Roscommon, Michael Fitzmaurice says the cost is ‘outlandish’ especially as the sites are on state land
