asked the Minister for Local Government the total amount of money allocated by his Department to County Kerry for housing during each of the years 1957, 1964 and 1968.

NOTES:

(a) The figures for 1968-69 in columns (2) and (3) are the sum of the allocations made by the Minister for Local Government to housing authorities in County Kerry for expenditure on housing loans and grants and on the provision of local authority housing in that year. The figures for the financial years 1957-58 and 1964-65 are the actual expenditure by these authorities for the purposes mentioned.

(b) The figures do not include grants paid by the Department of Local Government to private persons for the erection, reconstruction or improvement of dwellings.

32.

asked the Minister for Local Government the total amount paid by his Department in respect of new house grants in County Kerry during each of the years 1957, 1964 and 1968.

The amounts were: 1957: £30,538; 1964: £34,659; 1968: £66,453.

That was not available in the Minister's Department, but because it was favourable he got it.

Would Deputy L'Estrange cease interrupting?

33.

asked the Minister for Local Government the total number of cottages built by Kerry County Council during each of the years 1957, 1964 and 1968.

The total numbers of dwellings built by Kerry County Council during 1957, 1964 and 1968 were 154, 106 and 136, respectively.

What was it in 1964?

One hundred and six.

The Minister skipped over that one well.
