On the 7 January last an application was received in my Department from Donegal County Council for a financial allocation to meet existing commitments on their housing programme in 1980. On 14 March last, the council were notified of a capital allocation of £1,850,000 for this purpose.
The council have submitted a further application for a capital allocation to finance new works in various parts of the county, due to commence before 31 July 1980. This application is being examined in conjunction with similar claims from other housing authorities. I cannot say at this stage when I will be in a position to make a decision on the council's application.
