NOTES:— (i) Figures for current expenditure are net amounts after allowing for receipts from loan repayments by borrowers, rents and purchase annuities, etc. They represent, therefore the amounts met by subsidies from central and local taxation.

(ii) Figures for capital expenditure are for expenditure on the building of local authority houses, or the making of house purchase loans and supplementary grants, etc. They do not include expenditure on State grants.

(iii) The numbers of houses built include houses built in the urban districts of Bray, Wicklow, Arklow, Naas and Athy.
