Mr. O'Leary
I am informed by Dublin Corporation that the Benburb Street and Hendrick Street area is intended to be zoned for commercial and industrial use and that housing development is proposed on the following sites in the Arran Quay parish:—
Constitution Hill, 90 dwellings; Queen Street/Blackhall Parade, 90 dwellings; Friary Avenue/Smithfield, 30 dwellings.
Mr. O'Leary
Is the Minister in a position to say what time will be involved in the actual development?
Offhand, I cannot tell the Deputy.
Mr. O'Leary
Has development already begun in the Benburb Street Hendrick Street area?
I cannot say.
Mr. O'Leary
The Minister only knows it is down for zoning purposes?
That is what I was asked, but I can get the information for the Deputy.
