Vol. 404 No. 7

Written Answers. - Local Authority Housing.

Tony Gregory

Question:

72 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses built in (i) Dublin City and (ii) County Mayo in 1989 and 1990; and the number under construction in 1991 in both areas.

Housing authorities in County Mayo completed 126 houses in the two year period ended 31 December 1990. In the same period, 41 houses were completed by Dublin Corporation.

Information received from the housing authorities indicates that at 1 January 1991, 77 houses were under construction by authorities in County Mayo and 95 by Dublin Corporation. The allocations for their 1991 housing construction programme which will be notified to housing authorities shortly will include provision for new "starts" for 1991. It will then be a matter for the housing authorities concerned to get these starts underway. It is not possible to say, at this stage, the number that individual local authorities will have started by the end of 1991.
