asked the Minister for the Environment the present position in regard to an application for a home improvement grant made by a person (details supplied) in County Laois.
A house improvement grant of £600 has been approved in this case in respect of necessary works to the fabric of the house. Grants could not, however, be approved under any other category of works because, contrary to a statutory condition of the scheme, the particular works had commenced before an inspection of the house was carried out. The applicant was so informed on 7 March 1985.
