Written Answers. - Dublin County Council Loan Application.
901.
I received applications in November 1981 from Dublin County Council for loans and grants to finance the provision of fireplaces in rented houses at various locations in the county. I have already approved grants for the works and I expect to be in a position shortly to approve a loan to meet the balance of the cost. As the works are being carried out by the council on their own property it would not be appropriate for me to name the tenants concerned.
