asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state whether a proposal by Dublin County Council to acquire an extensive housing site in the Tallaght area has been abandoned, and, if so, why; and, further, if he will indicate whether the county council have plans for the acquisition of an equally spacious site in the immediate vicinity of the village of Tallaght.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tallaght Housing Site.
During the course of the public local inquiry into the proposal of the Dublin County Council to acquire compulsorily housing sites in the Tallaght area, it was intimated by the council's technical officers that on reexamination one site was found to be unsuitable for building purposes and that it was not intended to proceed further with its acquisition. I have not yet received formal notice of withdrawal from the county council nor have I received proposals for the acquisition of an alternative site.
