Vol. 223 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Donegal County Council Housing.

19.

Mr. Harte

asked the Minister for Local Government the number of houses built by Donegal County Council for each of the past ten years.

Mr. Blaney

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

Year ended 31st March	Number of dwellings completed by Donegal County Council
1966	71
1965	62
1964	33
1963	41
1962	35
1961	52
1960	32
1959	61
1958	75
1957	140

Mr. Harte

Could the Minister tell us in which year the greatest number of houses were built?

Mr. Blaney

By far the most in the first year of the ten year period.

Mr. Harte

By how many?

Mr. Blaney

By approximately double.

Mr. Harte

Is that all?

Mr. Blaney

That is all, yes.
