asked the Minister for the Environment when approval for a house improvement grant application will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford.

asked the Minister for the Environment when he will pay a home improvement grant to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.
There is no record in my Department of the receipt of an application for a house improvement grant from the person named. However, there is an application from a person with a different Christian name, but with the same surname and from a broadly similar address. The position in this case is that a grant cannot be allowed because contrary to a qualifying condition of the scheme the works were commenced before an inspection of the House was carried out. This applicant has been so informed.
