I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 12 and 13 together.
Proposals for the acceptance of the tenders to which the Deputy refers were submitted to my Department on the following dates: 46 houses at Saggart, 24th September, 1965; 14 houses at Santry, 1st March, 1966; 24 houses at Skerries, 25th March, 1966; 1 house at Newcastle, 25th October, 1965; 2 houses at Hoar Rock, Skerries, 24th March, 1966.
I am not yet in a position to say when it will be possible to sanction the acceptance of these tenders or the loans referred to for the Lucan, Millbrook and Rathcoole schemes. I hope, however, to be in a position shortly to notify the council of a supplementary capital allocation for 1966-67 in respect of existing commitments and new works. It will then be a matter for the housing authority to decide the particular works to be commenced within the overall limits of the revised allocation.
