The statistics requested in regard to the numbers of applications for supplementary grants are not available in my Department. I have asked the Corporation if they can supply them and, if so, I will forward them to the Deputy when received.
There is no provision for an appeal against the decision of a housing authority on an application for a supplementary grant.
