asked the Minister for the Environment if he will ensure that the finance for a new housing scheme for the aged at Rosslare Strand, County Wexford, will be provided as soon as possible because of the great demand in that area for such houses.
Written Answers. - County Wexford Housing Scheme.
282.
It is a matter for Wexford County Council to plan and initiate housing schemes in their functional area having regard to established needs and to the capital allocation available for their house building programme.
The council were allocated £2,230,000 from the Local Loans Fund on 12 April last to finance existing commitments and a further £370,000 was provided on 22 June 1983 in response to their claim for the financing of new works which they hope to commence this year. I have no proposal before me at present from the council to make extra moneys available to them to provide a new housing scheme at Rosslare Strand.
