(South Tipperary) asked the Minister for Local Government why clearance has not been given to Tipperary (South Riding) County Council regarding twenty compulsory purchase orders, as the final date for objection to such orders appears to have expired since 22nd September 1965 and most of those concerned are in urgent need of rehousing.

I assume that the Deputy is referring to the Tipperary South Riding Compulsory Purchase (Labourers Acts) No. 3 Order, 1965, under which the county council propose to acquire 13 plots for the erection of a total of 20 cottages. The latest date for the making of objections to this order was 28th September, 1965.
As an objection to the Order has been received as respects one plot, it is necessary to hold a public local inquiry into this objection. The inquiry will be held on 7th December, 1965.
The Order, in so far as the other 12 sites are concerned, is under consideration and a decision in the matter will be conveyed to the council as soon as possible.
