The total number of cottages erected by the Northern Committee of the Cork County Council in the period referred to was 739 but this figure includes grouped schemes in non-municipal towns. The remaining particulars required are either not available in this Department or are not available in the form the Deputy desires and I suggest that he might approach the local authority for the information.
asked the Minister for Local Government what is the cause of the delay in erecting four cottages at Kiskeam village, County Cork.
I understand that cost per cottage represented by tenders for the erection of four cottages at Kiskeam received last February by Cork County Council was reported by the council's architect to be "altogether excessive" and that, accordingly, fresh tenders have been invited for receipt by the 12th of the month.
