asked the Minister for the Environment if he will arrange to pay a house improvement grant to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
Payment of a grant for £600 for a bathroom will be made at an early date. The applicant does not qualify for a grant for a back boiler as there is an existing chimney in the house; neither is a sewerage grant payable because a grant for this purpose was paid within the past ten years, that is to say on 29 August 1974. The applicant recently sought a bedroom grant and an inspection will be carried out shortly with a view to allocating a grant, if in order.
