asked the Minister for Local Government if any sanction has been sought from or proposal made to his Department in connection with the erection of flats on the large open space at the rear of Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church and on the east side of Golden Lane at present utilised as a car park, and if, in view of the scarcity of such sites, he will recommend to the Dublin Corporation that flat dwellings should be speedily erected thereon.
