Vol. 392 No. 1

Written Answers. - Replacement of Chimneys.

288.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received any request from Sligo Corporation to make finance available to provide new chimneys in 106 Cranmore-Abbeyquarter local authority houses where the existing chimneys have a design fault which has already caused a number of fires and which presents a constant threat of fire; when he will provide the money for the urgently needed work; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A request for finance under the remedial works scheme in respect of 105 dwellings in this estate was recently received in the Department and is being examined. If the proposal is found to come within the scope of the scheme, the question of funding of eligible refurbishment works will be considered in the light of the capital available for 1990 and the competing demands by other authorities.
