Mr. Belton
So far as I am aware, the only proposal by Dublin Corporation with respect to the acquisition of land in the Coolock-Raheny area for housing purposes is that contained in a compulsory purchase order relating to about 330 acres at Kilbarrack, which the Corporation submitted to me for confirmation on 26th July, 1963. Having regard to the nature of my functions in relation to the compulsory purchase order, I cannot comment on the second part of the Deputy's question in the context of the lands concerned.
