asked the Minister for Local Government how many houses or flats could have been erected on the site which was up to recently described as from 72 to 80 Phibsboro Road; and if, having regard to the serious housing shortage in the city of Dublin, he will state why steps were not taken to acquire this site for housing purposes.
