asked the Minister for Local Government when it is intended to give effect to the proposals in the White Paper of June, 1969, with regard to the increased grants for private dwellings.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 39 and 40 together.
As indicated in Housing in the Seventies, the revised grants based on floor area will be effective for houses or flats commenced on or after the 1st October, 1969, irrespective of the date of receipt in my Department of the grant application.
