asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that many tenants of labourers' cottages are anxious to redeem the cottage purchase annuities payable under the provisions of the Labourers' Act, 1936, by a bulk cash payment or by instalments over a short period to be agreed upon with the local authority; and, if so, whether he will consider facilitating them in this matter, if necessary by the introduction of proposals for legislation.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Redemption of Cottage Annuities.
I am not aware that many tenants of labourers' cottages desire to redeem their cottage purchase annuities either by a lump sum payment or by payment of instalments over a short period. Consideration will be given to the point raised by the Deputy when an opportunity for legislation arises.
