Mr. Quinn

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will indicate for each local authority (1) the number of SDA loan applications, (2) the number approved and (3) the number of loan applications which were taken up by the successful applicants in 1979 and in 1980 to date.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. R. Burke)

: As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
