Vol. 317 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Grants and Assistance.

18.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the policy of his Department to assist members of the public to avail of any grants and assistance available from his Department and the procedure used towards this end.

It is the policy of my Department to assist members of the public to avail of, and obtain with the minimum delay and difficulty practicable, the grants and other assistance which are provided by the Department. Every effort is made by means of simple application forms, explanatory memoranda, specifications and personal service from administrative and technical staff to make clear to the public what assistance is available and how it can be obtained. In particular, I would refer the Deputy to the Department's booklet, "A Home of your Own", which is freely obtainable and provides useful information for people buying, building, reconstructing, improving or renting their home and which is updated from time to time to meet changing circumstances.
