asked the Minister for the Environment the reason for the delay in the payment of a new house grant to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford.
There has been no delay in the Department in dealing with this case. The person named was an applicant for a grant under the old scheme of new house grants but a grant could not be paid as the house was not completed on or before 1 January 1979. The applicant was informed of this by letter of 12 March 1980. He also claimed, but was not eligible for, the £1,000 grant, as the foundations of his house were poured prior to 26 May 1977.
