207.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the programme for new house building submitted to his Department from each of the following local authorities: (i) Clonmel Borough Council, (ii) Carrick-on-Suir UDC, (iii) Tipperary UDC, (iv) Cashel UDC, (v) Waterford County Council, (vi) Tipperary S.R. County Council; the date of submission and the number of houses in respect of each scheme, the cost per scheme, when sanction will issue in each case and the reason for the delay in providing the necessary money.

On 15 February 1980, all housing authorities were asked to furnish particulars of their capital requirements in 1980 for: (a) housing schemes—not already included in existing commitments—which have been advertised for tender or which will be so advertised by 30 April 1980; (b) rural cottages— not already included in existing commitments—on which it is proposed to start work by 31 July 1980, and (c) demountable dwellings—not already included in existing commitments—for which it is proposed to give firm orders by 31 July 1980.

In reply the authorities mentioned in the Deputy's question furnished the following details and their estimates of expenditure in 1980.
