The question of amending legislation to Gaeltacht Housing Acts is at present receiving consideration.
Is the Minister not able to give a more definite statement on this matter in view of the fact that he has reduced the amount for housing in his Estimate from £80,000 to £45,000? In view of the very unsatisfactory conditions of housing in the Gaeltacht, he should be able to give some indication as to whether he is going to bring about any improvement.
