NOTE: Up to 1955-56, Cork Corporation normally raised their housing capital requirements by stock issue, and by loans from insurance companies, banks etc. The figures for these years are for the total capital expenditure of the Corporation on local authority housing.
The figures for the later years do not include expenditure by the Corporation financed otherwise than from the Local Loans Fund, or expenditure on house purchase loans and supplementary grants for private housing.
