asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state the number of houses built by boards of health in the vicinity of the Cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Waterford, under the village scheme of non-municipal houses, and the rents charged in each scheme.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Village Housing Schemes.
In Dublin and Limerick non-municipal schemes, as such, were not undertaken but in the vicinity of these cities labourers' cottages have been built by the boards of health. In Dublin the cottages built in the vicinity of the city at places such as Stillorgan, Deansgrange and Ballinteer, have been let at 5/6 a week and rates. In Limerick cottages in the vicinity of that city have been let at 6/- a week and rates. No cottages have been built by the board of public health in close proximity to Waterford City. As regards the non-municipal towns scheme in the South Cork health district I would refer the Deputy to replies to his two questions of the 30th October last.
