ALMOST 250 homes could be provided on the former St Patrick Barracks site in Ballymena, Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie has said.
Ms Ritchie said the Fold Housing Association is in negotiations to buy 47 former army houses on the site.
She added that the Housing Executive is interested in buying approximately 10 acres of the 42 acre site where it would build up to 200 houses.
The Social Development Minister was replying to an Assembly question from North Antrim SF MLA Daithi McKay.
The barracks, which had been the headquarters of the Royal Irish Regiment, closed in 2008.
