asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state for each month in the years 1950, 1951 and 1952 the number of (a) housing grants authorised for payment to persons for houses for their own occupation, (b) instalments of such grants paid and (c) number of final payments made on such grants.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Housing Grant Statistics.
The information in regard to (b) is not readily available in the Department and would involve considerable expenditure of time in its compilation.
As the reply to the other parts of the question is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated in the Official Report.
The statement is as follows:—
THE FOLLOWING TABLE SHOWS (a) THE NUMBER OF HOUSING GRANTS AUTHORISED AND (c) THE NUMBER OF FINAL PAYMENTS MADE ON HOUSING GRANTS:—
