asked the Minister for the Environment if he will change the 1980 Housing Grants Regulations made under the Housing Act, 1979, to enable a housing reconstruction grant to be paid to a disabled person buying a new or second-hand house in addition to the builder's grant and the first time buyer's grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I have no proposals to amend the 1980 regulations as envisaged by the Deputy. However, the conditions relating to payment of the £2,000 "first time buyers" new house grant allow a grant to be paid for a new house being specially provided to meet the accommodation needs of a disabled person who had previously purchased or built a house or who is building a house which exceeds the usual floor area limit.
