asked the Minister for Local Government if it is proposed to confirm the compulsory purchase order made by Dublin Corporation in respect of a plot of land at Sandford Road/Marlborough Road, Dublin; and, if so, when.

34.
I confirmed the order on 16th October, 1973.
That was on Tuesday last but did the Minister not say in Cork that he had confirmed every compulsory purchase order that was on his desk in the Department of Local Government?
That is right.
Was this one not on his desk?
No, it was in a dust-covered file where it had been left by Deputy Molloy for months because he was afraid to move on it.
That is another bluff statement from the Minister.
