Written Answers. - Local Authority Houses.

1008.

Mr. Keegan

asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses erected by each authority in the Republic for the years 1971 to 1981, inclusive.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Raphael Burke)

Details of the number of local authority houses erected by each local authority in the period 1971—1981 are set out in the tabular statement below which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.
