A proposal to accept a tender for a scheme of 25 houses at Dingle was received in my Department from Kerry County Council on 24th December, 1953. It appeared that certain important points affecting the tenders had not been adverted to by the housing authority when considering the matter. The attention of the council was drawn to these points by letter of 25th January, 1954, and their comments and reconsidered proposals were requested. These have been received in the Department only on the 13th instant and are at present being examined. There will be no delay on the part of the Department in dealing with the matter.
