asked the Minister for Finance whether, with a view to providing much-needed employment, he will see his way to expedite the rebuilding on the destroyed area in O'Connell Street.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - REBUILDING OF O'CONNELL ST.
I am advised that under the Damage to Property Compensation Act the Minister for Finance has power to compel the owners of the destroyed premises in O'Connell Street to rebuild within a reasonable time, and I am prepared to make use of this power to expedite the rebuilding of the destroyed area.
