There is no proposal before my Department at present for the erection of additional houses by Dún Laoghaire Corporation. On 3rd June, 1961, I informed the Corporation that no objection would be raised to their proposal to proceed with the erection of a further 44 houses at "Boley," Abbey Road, Monkstown, where 46 houses are at present in course of erection. A proposal in regard to acceptance of a tender for these further houses is awaited. I have no precise information as to the extent of the additional need. I have, however, requested the housing authority to make a survey of the remaining unfit houses in their area and I understand that this is being carried out.
