asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware of the urgent need for grants for the erection and reconstruction of houses on holdings of over £25 in rural areas; and if he is prepared to introduce proposals for legislation to make such grants available, and, if not, if he will state the reason.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Housing Grants.
I am not prepared to introduce proposals for legislation as suggested. If the Deputy refers to the Official Reports of the debates on the Housing Bills of 1936 and 1937—for instance, 1st July, 1936, and 15th December, 1937—he will find a full statement of my views on this matter.
