asked the Minister for Local Government what is the present position in relation to the proposed housing scheme for the Church Street area, Rathkeale, County Limerick; whether he has received proposals in the matter, and whether, in view of the urgent need for these houses, he will have the matter expedited.

Approval has been given in principle to the proposal of the Limerick County Council to erect ten houses at Church Street, Rathkeale. Certain revisions of the plans have been suggested to the council and the submission of revised documents is awaited.
