As the reply contains a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Two loan applications under the Labourers Acts were submitted in the financial years 1960/61 and 1961/62. The dates on which approval was sought and given to the acceptance of tenders for the erection of cottages during the same period are set out hereunder. The financing of some of these cottages relates to earlier loans.
