I understand from Limerick Corporation that there are 600 applicants on their approved housing list at present, that 100 dwellings are under construction, that work will be started shortly on 133 dwellings and that work on a further 215 dwellings should be put in hands this year. In addition, the National Building Agency are examining outline proposals which they have received for a special housing project which includes a projected 800 dwellings for Limerick city.
Out of the 448 dwellings excluding this project, on which the corporation expect to have work in progress this year, it is estimated that a further 51 will become available for occupation by 31 December, 1967.
