Mr. J. Lenehan
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:

The location of individual rural cottages, mobile homes and demountable dwellings is not readily available in my Department.
(Cavan): It seems a miserable performance.
Mr. J. Lenehan
I did not ask that question at all. I asked the number of conventional houses erected by Mayo County Council. I did not ask about these, which are nothing better than haysheds, stuck up in the last few months. As far as I can see the answer is six houses which represents .6 of a house each year for ten years. I did not ask for particulars about these fakes of houses, including caravans.
(Cavan): Perhaps, with new officers in the county council, more work will be done.
Mr. J. Lenehan
I hope so. I am doing all I can about it.
