Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Waterford Houses.
I have approval last December to the county council's proposals for this scheme. It is a matter for the housing authority to have work on it started.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tenant Purchase Scheme.
The purpose of the housing aids referred to by the Deputy is to encourage persons who can afford to do so to provide their own houses.
No. What I have said is that all the facilities are available after a period of five years and I do not intend to change that.
There is a 100 per cent loan available——
It is not proposed to change the legislation.
They are well looked after in local authority housing schemes and with grant-aided and loan-aided houses.
If certain conditions are complied with, what I have said is so.
I am not going to go through them now—— (Interruptions.)
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Dublin CPOs.
This Order is at present under consideration in my Department and my decision thereon will be conveyed as soon as possible.
That is not correct. The land involved has two aspects to it. First, there are objections to compulsory purchase to one section but not to the other.
There are two objectors here and the inspector who carried out the oral hearing reported to the Department in February of this year. The report is under consideration. I am sorry, my original supplem...
The report is with the Department and we shall give a decision on it as soon as possible.
I assume that the question refers to the Dublin County Council Compulsory Purchase (Housing Act 1966) No. 1 Order 1969. The unopposed portion of this compulsory purchase order was confirmed by me on ...
No, this one is not because the school is to be located on the section of the land in respect of which agreement was reached and in respect of which compulsory purchase was not, therefore, necessary.
I am giving the Deputy the facts.
The Deputy is not prepared to accept the facts.
The proposal is to build a school on part of the land which is not now the subject of a compulsory purchase order.
That does not mean anything so far as my reply is concerned.
There are at present 16 compulsory purchase orders from Dublin County Council before my Department. In four of these action has been deferred at the request of the local authority.
Four of them have been withdrawn.
No, two of them were withdrawn at the request of the owners and two at the request of the local authority.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Swimming Pools.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 43, 44 and 45 together. Proposals from Dublin Corporation for the construction of indoor, heated swimming pools, measuring 25...
This is a package deal and the one at Ballymun will take 150 spectators. I am afraid I cannot give the exact measures.
I do not know where the pool is to be sited.
A decision will be taken fairly soon.
Very shortly.
The total cost of the three is £134,000.
I will send the information to the Deputy.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Westmeath Road Grants.
Arterial road grants have been replaced by the national primary roads improvement and upkeep grants. It is a condition of the grant that improvement works shall be selected in consultation with the D...
The question related to national primary roads. So far as finance is concerned, under this heading the grant to the county council concerned for 1970-71 was £70,000 and in 1971-72 it was £90,000.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Athlone Roadside Lighting.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Invalid Vehicle Tax.
The exemption granted by section 43 of the Finance Act, 1968 in respect of vehicles specially constructed or adapted for the use of invalids as drivers applies only where the invalid is wholly or almo...
I will look into the case.
The regulation provides for exemption in the case of a vehicle specially constructed or specially adapted and, if a car is adapted for the use of such a person, then exemption can be given; the Deputy...
Because there is no guarantee that it will not be used by others.
When it is specially adapted and owned and used by an invalid, then it should qualify.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Road Fund Revenue.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 49 and 50 together. The figures for gross proceeds from motor vehicle duties are contained in the annual reports of the Compt...
I am not so aware.
The information I referred to is available in the Library.
The figures for the dates I have given are available.
I said the information is available in two different documents which are available in the Library.
The Deputy can go and do some homework.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Local Authority Expenditure.

I am afraid my reply refers to one dumping incident——
——by one firm which was investigated. If the Deputy has in mind other incidents——
