Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Laois Reconstruction Grant.
34.
There has been no unreasonable delay in dealing with this case. It has been ascertained that the applicant was paid a Land Commission new house grant within the 15 years prior to the commencement of the current work in June, 1974. His eligibility for a further grant has not yet been determined but an early decision will be made. The work was last inspected early in November, 1974.
And not passed for payment yet?
It has not been decided if he is eligible for payment. This is the matter at issue.
