Vol. 195 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - House Building and Reconstruction.

28.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state for each financial year in the period 1st April, 1954, to 31st March, 1962, (a) the number of local authority houses built, (b) the number of private houses built, (c) the number of houses reconstructed, and (d) the number of men employed on both building and reconstruction of both local authority and private houses.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

Number of houses built by private persons with the aid of grants under the Housing Acts
