asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state, with reference to a reply of 28th February last, whether he has as yet issued loan sanction to Louth County Council for the construction of 38 rural houses, as Louth County Council must await his sanction for loan before they can seek tenders and proceed with the work and as the construction of these much-needed houses in County Louth is being delayed.

These loans were sanctioned last week. It is not correct to say that my sanction to the loans must be awaited before the council can invite tenders. The acceptance of tenders for these 38 houses has already been approved by me.
