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.

NOTES:—

(1) The figures for 1965-66 represent capital expenditure. No specific capital allocations were made to individual authorities in that year.

(2) The allocation for local authority housing for 1967-68 is an initial one in respect of existing commitments on foot of work already approved. Consideration will be given to the making of supplementary allocations according as additional tender proposals are approved and firm commencement dates have been agreed on between the housing authorities and the contractors involved. The allocations for housing loans and grants are also subject to review.

(3) Supplementary grants paid by Tipperary (SR) County Council are financed from current revenue. They amounted to £28,000 and £30,115 in 1965-66 and 1966-67 respectively, and are estimated to amount to £33,000 in 1967-68.

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.
