Local authority housing construction figures
Tully asked for local authorities’ planned 1980 house completions and commencement figures. Connolly said completion figures by authority were unavailable, estimated about 6,000 completions overall, and provided available progress and commencement data.
asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses under the headings: (i) group numbers, and (ii) isolated cottages each local authority propose to erect and complete in 1980; the numbers already commenced prior to the 1 January 1980 and the numbers commenced or proposed for commencement after that date.
Comment on this
Information as to the numbers of dwellings to be completed in 1980 by individual local authorities is not available in my Department. I expect, however, that completions by all authorities will total about 6,000 dwellings in 1980. Data available in relation to numbers of dwellings in progress and numbers commenced is set out in the tabular statement below, which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
Notes:
1. The above figures do not include demountable dwellings.
2. The 31 March 1980 is the latest date for which data on the number of dwellings commenced in 1980 is available in comprehensive form from local authorities.
