andMr. Connolly asked the Minister for Local Government when he will sanction the scheme for the provision of 22 houses at Kilcormac, County Offaly.

Outline proposals for this scheme, which were recently submitted to my Department, were discussed last week by technical advisers of the housing authority and of my Department. The submission by the council of a revised layout is now awaited. When this is received, a decision will be given without delay.
