Vol. 437 No. 2
87 Mr. Nolan asked the Minister for the Environment if, in view of the circumstances involved, he will amend the new house grants scheme to enable a new house grant to be paid to applicants such as a person (details supplied) in County Carlow.
96 Mr. Nolan asked the Minister for the Environment if he will have arrangements made for the payment of a new house grant to a person (details supplied) in County Carlow in view of the circumstances associated with the case.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 87 and 96 together.
A new house grant cannot be allowed in this case as, contrary to a condition of the scheme, the applicants previously purchased or built another house for their own occupation. I do not propose to amend this condition of the scheme.
