Vol. 315 No. 16

Written Answers. - Housing Figures.

47.

asked the Minister for the Environment the number of houses built in each local authority area in the past ten years by (a) local authorities, (b) private, and (c) co-operatives associations.

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 the statement:

Number of dwellings completed during the period 1 April 1969 to 31 December 1978.

Dwellings completed by co-operative groups during the period 1 April 1971 to 31 December 1977.

Notes:

(1) Information in columns 1-3 relates to the ten financial years commencing on 1 April 1969 and ending on 31 December 1978.

(2) Information regarding non-local authority dwellings completed during the period in question is available only in relation to each county (including urban areas) and county borough.

(3) The number of dwellings completed by co-operative groups prior to 1 April 1971 is not known. Final figures are not yet available for 1978 but it is estimated that about 200 dwellings were completed in that year. The figures for dwellings completed by co-operative groups (column 4) are included in the figures for non-local authority dwellings (column 3). The figures in brackets in column 4 refer to houses completed by the rural housing organisation and these figures are also included in the figures for non-local authority dwellings (column 3).

(4) BC = borough corporation.

CC = county council.

UDC = urban district council.
