asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware of the hardships inflicted on applicants for unemployment assistance and the inconvenience caused to the staff of the Employment Exchange at Cecil Street, Limerick, by the unexplained delay in carrying out the extensions to and completing the alteration of the premises and if he will state when the work will be proceeded with.
