Written Answers. - Housing Statistics.
Details of new house completions and of grants paid to first time purchasers of new houses are published in my Department's quarterly and annual bulletins of housing statistics, copies of which are in the Oireachtas Library. The annual housing statistics bulletin for 1999 is due for publication shortly. Information in relation to the number of first time purchasers of new houses who do not qualify for the new house grant is not available in my Department.
