Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Mr. Connolly)

A proposal under the remedial works scheme has been received from the council in respect of the refurbishment of 190 dwellings in this estate at an estimated cost of some £1.75 million. The principal works for which funding has been sought are external wall refurbishment and the replacement of windows. The proposal is the subject of discussions between the Department and the housing authority and a decision will be made as soon as possible.
