I understand that the Dublin County Council have in their possession in Swords a site for 120 cottages and that there are at present approximately 100 applicants for re-housing in the area. Plans for the scheme are being prepared. Development cannot, however, be commenced until satisfactory access to the site can be provided. A compulsory purchase order for the acquisition of land to provide such access is under consideration in my Department and a decision thereon will be issued to the housing authority as soon as possible. I am not in a position at this stage to state when the cottages will be ready for allocation.
