asked the Minister for Local Government if any county council has availed itself of section 10 (1) of 9 and 10 Geo. 5, Ch. 99; if this section is now operative in the State; if any authorised housing associations have been recognised by him; and, if so, if he will state the names of such associations.

No record can be traced in my Department of any county council's having availed itself of the provisions of the section in question or of the formation of any authorised association for the purposes of the section. The section has not been repealed but it is regarded as obsolete, having been replaced by the Planning enactments of 1934, 1939 and 1963.
