asked the Minister for Local Government the present estimated housing requirements of Tipperary South Riding County Council, Clonmel Corporation and Cashel and Carrick-on-Suir Urban Councils.
The most recent statutory assessment of housing needs was carried out by housing authorities generally in 1967. The next general assessment is not due to be carried out until 1972. I am not in a position therefore to give up-to-date estimates of overall housing requirements. I propose, however, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report, a statement setting out recent estimates given by these councils of the present need for local authority houses in their areas.
The following is the statement:
