asked the Minister for Local Government when tenders will be sanctioned and finance made available for the building of houses by Meath County Council at Kilmainham, County Meath.

I have not received any proposal for the acceptance of a tender for this scheme. The housing authority's loan proposal which was received in my Department on the 12th June, 1972, will be considered in due course with the tender proposal when it is received.
