I am not aware of the number of persons who have applied to the county council for houses in the Ballycumber-Leamonaghan area. I received proposals from the housing authority for approval to building nine houses, three at Ballycumber and six at Leamonaghan and have approved the documents in each case, subject to certain technical observations on the Leamonaghan site.
