asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the serious housing shortage in Ballina, County Mayo; and if he will take the necessary steps to give sanction to a proposal which was forwarded to his Department on 7th March, 1966 for the erection of 12 houses at Mount Assumpta, Ballina.

I am aware of the need for a further housing scheme in Ballina, and I will give a decision as soon as possible on the proposal relating to the 12 house scheme which is under examination in my Department at present.
Could the Minister indicate when approximately he will be in a position to give sanction?
I am afraid I could not do that but I will say it will be done as quickly as possible.
