Details of proposed Government investments to be made in Cork and Kerry will be outlined later today at a briefing by Minister for Public Expenditure Brendan Howlin and Minister for Agriculture, Food & the Marine Simon Coveney.
Major projects being proposed include a programme of school building, the provision of primary care centres in health, and the construction of 2,500 social houses in Cork city and county and another 1,000 social houses in Kerry by 2017.
