asked the Minister for Local Government the reason for the delay in allocating the new houses at Killygoan, Monaghan town.

126.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he is satisfied that the new houses at Killygoan, Monaghan town have been satisfactorily completed.

I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 125 and 126 together.

The allocation of the tenancies of houses is a matter entirely for the housing authority in accordance with the approved scheme of letting priorities. It is also a matter for the housing authority to satisfy themselves that the houses have been completed satisfactorily in accordance with the contract.
