§ Rev. Ian Paisleyasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) what plans he has for the clearing away of derelict houses in Ahoghill;
(2) What plans he has for the clearing away of derelict houses in Rasharkin;
(3) what plans he has for the clearing away of derelict houses in Portglenone.
§ Mr. Concannon:I am advised by the Housing Executive that its five-year programme provides for three redevelopment schemes to deal with areas of unfit housing in Ahoghill; that the local public health inspectors have been asked to investigate the extent of unfit housing in Rasharkin and future action will largely depend on the outcome of this investigation; and that, at present, there are no plans to deal with derelict houses in Portglenone.
