There has been no delay by my Department in dealing with this case which has already been the subject of a number of inspections. Following the last inspection in November 1983 the applicant was requested, in writing, by my Department to carry out certain works. There was no indication that these works had been completed until the Deputy's representations in the case were received last month. The relevant file was then referred on 31 October 1984 to my Department's inspector for investigation and report with a view to payment of the grant, if in order.
