asked the Minister for Local Government whether he received recently from the Dundalk Urban District Council proposals in connection with the invitation of tenders for the Marian Park housing scheme and, if so, if he will expedite the issue of sanction.

The proposals referred to were dealt with in a letter dated 16th May last from my Department in which the council was informed that, subject to some minor amendments of their draft contract documents, no objection would be raised to the invitation of tenders for the scheme.
