asked the Minister for the Environment the number of houses built in each local authority area in each year for the past ten years by (a) local authorities, (b) private, and (c) co-operative associations.

asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses sold in each year for the last ten years in each local authority area under the various tenant purchase schemes to tenants.
The information sought is available on a county, including urban areas, and county borough basis for the years 1970-1971 to 1977 inclusive in the Quarterly Bulletins of Housing Statistics copies of which are in the Oireachtas Library. Information for the year 1978 is not yet available. Information on 1969-70 is available in the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
