Vol. 54 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - House Building in Gaeltacht.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the total number of houses completed under the Housing (Gaeltacht) Acts in each of the counties of (1) Donegal, (2) Mayo, (3) Galway, (4) Clare, (5) Kerry, (6) Cork, (7) Waterford and (8) any other county on the 31st March, 1932, and on the 30th September, 1934.

The number of cases in which new houses, including poultry-houses and piggeries, were completed at the dates mentioned were as follows:—

COUNTY

Galway

151

Clare

Kerry

183

Cork

Waterford

Total

822

The erection of the poultry-house and piggery is part of the work for which the grant is ordinarily given and it would involve special reports on individual cases to furnish figures as to the numbers of cases in which the houses have been completed but in which these outbuildings have not yet been completed.

Do the figures which the Parliamentary Secretary has just quoted represent the total number of house built under the Housing (Gaeltacht) Acts up to 31st March, 1932, and the total number built up to 30th September, 1934?
