Seventeen houses have been completed at Templemore and ten more will be ready for occupation in the next few weeks.

Yes, and a fine new barracks.
The Minister did not answer my question. Is he going to build houses for the guards?

Deputy Lynch does not read the Waterford papers.
Question No. 61.

This is another sphere of Government activity in which there is action and progress.
