Killenaule local authority housing
The Minister said construction had begun on an 18-house scheme in Killenaule, with funding included in the county council’s 1980 allocation. Mr. Griffin questioned whether his intervention had secured approval; the Minister assured him the scheme was being handled.
asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, for the erection of extra local authority houses in Killenaule, County Tipperary.

I understand that work on a scheme of 18 houses at Killenaule in respect of which approval to the unit cost issued to Tipperary (SR) County Council on 6 September 1979, commenced on 26 May 1980. An allocation of capital to cover estimated expenditure on the scheme in 1980 was included in the capital allocation of £980,000 for local authority housing notified to the local authority on 14 March 1980.

Would the Minister not agree that but for putting down this question sanction would not have been granted to the local authority to construct those houses?
