asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that payment of the grant under the Housing (Amendment) Act, 1948, is delayed in many cases for a considerable period after the building of the house has been completed; and, if so, whether he will now take steps to ensure prompt payment of these grants.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Payment of Housing Grants.
Every effort is being made to ensure the prompt payment of housing grants and I am not aware that considerable delay has arisen in many cases. If, however, the Deputy will forward to me particulars of any case in which unreasonable delay has occurred I will have investigations made and will communicate with him further.
