asked the Minister for Local Government if he can now state when approximately the building of flats is likely to commence in (a) Bridgefoot Street, (b) Marrowbone Lane and (c) the York Street-Digges Street areas, Dublin.

I understand that the scheme of flats at Bridgefoot Street is likely to be commenced in April, 1960, the Marrowbone Lane scheme in December, 1960, and the York Street-Digges Street scheme in February, 1960.
