asked the Minister for Local Government in respect of each local authority area (a) the number of local authority houses completed in 1970; (b) the estimated number of local authority houses due to be completed in 1971; and (c) the number of approved housing applicants awaiting rehousing.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers (Resumed). - Local Authority Housing Statistics.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is a statement of the number of local authority dwellings completed in 1970-71 and the estimated number which housing authorities expect to complete in 1971-72:

NOTES:
(i) Information readily available relates to financial years.
(ii) Estimates of completions in 1971-72 are based on returns from housing authorities which are at present under examination.
Housing Authorities are not required to furnish details of the number of approved applicants on their waiting lists when submitting proposals for housing schemes to the Department and accordingly the information requested at (c) is not available in the Department.
