Vol. 227 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Local Authority Housing.

25.

(Cavan) asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each county the number of local authority houses built in each of the last ten years for which figures are available; and the cost to each county for each of these years.

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:—

NUMBER OF NEW LOCAL AUTHORITY HOUSES BUILT IN EACH OF THE YEARS 1956/57—1965/66 INCLUSIVE.

1956-57

1957-58

1958-59

1959-60

1960-61

1961-62

1962-63

1963-64

1964-65

1965-66

The information requested by the Deputy in regard to the cost to each county for each of the years is not available in the Department. Records of cos ts relate to individual schemes and do not show separately the costs for each county in respect of local authority houses completed within any one year.

The figures given above relate to the financial year in all cases. The last year for which figures for completions are available is 1965-66.
