(South Tipperary) asked the Minister for Local Government when the remaining £60,000 of the £120,000 loan for the building of rural cottages by Tipperary South Riding County Council, which was applied for on 15th June 1965 will be sanctioned; and if he is aware that building at the rate of one house per year in some recent years has now made the local authority housing position rather serious.
The loan of £60,000 already sanctioned is, I understand, sufficient to meet immediate requirements in respect of approved works. Tender proposals in respect of 12 additional cottages are under examination in my Department. I am not in a position to say when an additional amount of loan is likely to be sanctioned.
Building has not been at the low rate mentioned by the Deputy since 1959. The average number of cottages completed each year by the council in the five years ended on 31st March last was 24. So far this year, they have completed 22 and have work in progress on 41 cottages.
