Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Curragh Civilian Tenants.
(a) There are 27 dwelling-houses occupied by civilians in the Curragh Camp; (b) the rent in each of 26 of those houses is payable weekly as the houses are let on weekly tenancies. The remaining house is provided free of rent. In view of the number of houses involved I shall supply the Deputy with a list showing the address and the rent payable in each case; (c) there has not been any additional rent charge levied recently, but some of the tenants who held letting agreements inclusive of electric current are now being required to pay for current on the basis of consumption.
