Written Answers. - North Mayo Housing.

As the Deputy no doubt appreciates the provision of housing generally and of Exchequer capital therefor are not matters which fall directly within my area of responsibility and I have no funds at my disposal for the provision of housing for employees in industry.
I understand, however, from the Industrial Development Authority that in view of the necessity to cater for the immediate urgent housing needs of executives and key workers in certain new industries in Ballina/ Killala area, the authority have, as a special measure, made arrangements for the provision of a number of houses for these personnel.
