asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the number of old corporation houses unoccupied in Dublin City.

I am informed by the local housing authority that 177 of their houses and flat-dwellings were unoccupied at 28th February, 1958. Included in this total were 56 dwellings completed prior to 31st March, 1938, and 41 completed between that date and 31st March, 1947.
