I wish to refer the Deputy to my reply to the question put down by him for answer in this general matter on 16 October 1984. The effect of the regulations made on 1 August 1984, is that the one year rule no longer applies in the case of "one-off" houses or in a case where an applicant for a grant was precluded from furnishing his application to the Department due to unavoidable delay on his part in obtaining the necessary tax certificate.
