Question:175 Mr. Crowley asked the Minister for the Environment the average unit cost of building local authority dwellings; and the way in which North Committee of Cork County Council is expected to build 35 houses for £770,000.
Written Answers. - Local Authority Dwellings.
The average estimated all in cost of providing a two storey, three bedroom, five person local authority dwelling nationally is £35,500.
The full cost of the houses an authority are authorised to commence in any year does not arise solely in that year. The capital allocations notified to each housing authority including Cork (North) County Council, are considered to be sufficient to meet the expenditure arising on the authority's housing programme in 1990.
