asked the Minister for Local Government if he accepts that the number of local authority houses which will be completed this year will be about 1,500 as compared with 1,450 in 1972-73 and that the number of dwellings constructed on land to be made available by Dublin Corporation will be approximately the same as last year's figure of 1,200.

I presume that the Deputy is referring in the first part of the question to local authority houses built by Dublin Corporation. The local authority estimate that they will complete 1,500 such dwellings in the current financial year. They completed 1,394 dwellings in 1972-73.
I have been informed by the corporation that they estimate that the number of dwellings to be constructed on land made available by them in the current financial year will be approximately 1,200 which was the corresponding figure in 1972-73.
Is the Minister sure that my figure of 1,450 is incorrect?
Dublin Corporation have given these figures to my officials and I accept them.
I got figures from the corporation also.
Did I hear the Minister say that the figure is going down next year as distinct from going up?
No, Sir.
Perhaps I did not pick it up correctly. Did the Minister say that the figure was going from 1,550 to 1,200?
No.
Did he say so?
I read the reply to the question. I think Deputies should listen to the replies given.
I am trying to take this easy. I have asked would the Minister repeat the figures. Would the Minister do me the courtesy, with the Ceann Comhairle's permission, of repeating the figures?
With the Ceann Comhairle's permission, I will be glad to repeat them.

I have been informed by the corporation that they estimate that the number of dwellings to be constructed on land made available by them in the current financial year will be approximately 1,200 which was the corresponding figure in 1972-73.
That means that in addition to the houses they are building themselves they are getting 1,200 on land that was given to other people who built them.
Private builders?
Yes.
