It is a matter for Galway Corporation to plan and initiate housing schemes in their functional area having regard to established needs, including the needs of single parents, and the capital allocation available for their house building programme.
The corporation were allocated £3,125,000 capital from the local loans fund on 12 April last to finance existing commitments, and a further £195,000 was provided on 22 June 1983 in response to their claim for the financing of new works which they hope to commence this year.
