The total amount of applications by Donegal County Council in 1968/69 for loans from the Local Loans Fund for housing was £ 413,000. This amount was issued from the Fund. There were no outstanding claims for payment from the Fund to the Council at the end of the year.
In addition, housing subsidy totalling £47,799 was paid, as it fell due in that year, to the local authority.

Will Deputy Harte please control himself?
