Cllr Adrienne Wallace made the remarks at the February meeting of Carlow Municipal District. 

Speaking at the meeting, she said: "Credit where it's due, there is some movement [on housing]."

However, she called on the local authority to do more to use "public land banks that we have around the county and in Carlow Town". 

Cllr Wallace added: "We need to see what is there and can we build on it."
