Vol. 392 No. 1

253.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he will make a statement on the extension of conversion grants from solid fuel to gas heating in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 and other such persons in the area where many people of modest means cannot afford to convert by their own financial means.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 252 and 253 together.
Section 45 of the Air Pollution Act, 1987, provides for the payment of financial assistance only in relation to costs incurred by the owner or occupier of a premises situated within a special control area in order to enable the premises to comply with the requirements of a special control area order or a notice under section 44 of the Act. There is no provision for assistance towards heating conversions in respect of areas other than special control areas.
