SEAN O LAIDHIN
The Board of Works are not empowered to make, nor do they make, any advances to persons residing in Urban Districts for the purpose of erecting dwelling-houses for their own occupation.
Can such persons get an advance from any Department of Government?
I understand there is a Housing (Building Facilities) Act in operation.
Does it apply to urban districts?
Certainly.
