asked the Minister for the Environment why an old-type new house grant was not paid to a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath in view of the fact that the local authority are paying him their portion of the grant.
An inspection carried out in July 1978 revealed that the house in question had not been built in accordance with the plan submitted by the applicant. He has been asked on two occasions since then to furnish a plan of the house as built, the date of commencement of the work, and the name of the builder, but he has failed to do so. When he does so, his eligibility for a grant will be examined. The local authority has not allocated a supplementary grant.
