asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the number of new dwellings under construction by the Dublin Corporation on 31st December in each of the years 1949 to 1954, inclusive, distinguishing between cottages and flats; and further, the number of workers, distinguishing between skilled and unskilled, employed in the construction of these dwellings on each of these dates, excluding workers employed by the corporation on site development work.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

(The flats under construction include flats in tenement dwellings which are being reconditioned.)
