asked the Minister for Local Government when it is proposed to sanction the building of the county council houses at Rylane, Aghabulloge, Coachford and Dripsey, County Cork.

No proposals from Cork County Council are before my Department for the provision of houses at Rylane, Aghabulloge or Coachford. The council's plans for a scheme of 24 houses at Dripsey, of which six houses will be provided in the initial stage, are under examination and a decision on them will be given as soon as possible.
