asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether in view of the fact that the Dublin Corporation has discontinued the making of loans under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act to persons desiring to purchase their houses and that consequent on this action there is materially diminished honse-building in Dublin and an appreciable increase in the number of unemployed building workers, he will state what provisions, if any, he intends to make towards providing under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act the necessary moneys to permit the work of house-building in Dublin to proceed to the extent demanded by the citizens.
