I am not in a position to give any reliable estimate of the cost of imported and native materials used in the building of the type of house mentioned. Generally the bulk of the materials used in grant houses would be of Irish origin in view of the regulations which provide that as far as possible materials and appliances manufactured or produced in this country must be used.
