This application was received subsequent to 6 March 1987, the closing date for receipt of an application for a grant for a new house built by direct labour. Additional information was requested from the applicant to establish if a registered contractor was engaged in the construction of the house which is now a condition of entitlement to a grant. The documentation received does not establish that the applicant is eligible for a grant and he has been so informed.
