Note 1: Galway Corporation did not receive any capital for local authority housing or for house purchase loans and supplementary grants in 1974 (9 months) as the corporation had substantial credit balances at 31st March, 1974, sufficient for their needs for the period.
Note 2: The amounts shown for local authority housing in 1976 form part of an allocation made to local authorities generally to meet ongoing commitments at 1st January 1976. Further allocations will be made shortly to housing authorities in respect of schemes to be started in 1976.
Note 3: Grants under the local improvements scheme are confined to county councils and consequently Galway Corporation does not get grants under the scheme.
