Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Stone Window Sills.
Is the Minister prepared to give the same preference in regard to the employment of Irish workers, skilled technicians and foremen, as he indicated he is prepared to give in respect to the use of Iris...
It is a very serious supplementary question because I am informed that no Irishman need apply for an administrative job there.
Committee on Finance. - Vote 38—Local Government (Resumed).
Continue.
The Minister tacked on a statement about local authorities' works, obviously intending to bring them in.
Those sites were marked.
You were not there to do the work.
Because you had a Fine Gael county council. They had to be thrown out.
He always was a Blueshirt.

He has no regard for the Constitution because he voted against it.
It is time Deputy Cowan thought of that.
It was conceived before you were born.

Deputy Byrne is thinking of himself as usual.

No hotels were built in 1946. If the Deputy would just bear with me while I outline what was done in relation to housing by the Government which the Deputy helped to displace.
This Bill proposes to amend all the Housing Acts from 1890 to 1949.
I want to show the progress which has been made in dealing with the problem with which this country was faced when it took over from 1922 to 1924. The problem, therefore, if we keep that figure of th...
The late Deputy Belton was not a Fianna Fáil member.
That was not until 1942 when you fellows put him in in the hope of saving yourselves and of making him a scape-goat for your maladministration. However, that is not in order.
I was going on to say that the county council were not only dilatory in preparing schemes and availing of the generous provisions of the Housing Act of 1932, but they actually connived at a campaign t...
