Breeda Moynihan-Cronin

Question:

297 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government when an inspection for a new house grant will be carried out in relation to an application made by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and the reason for the delay in this regard. [21069/97]

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Molloy)

There has been no undue delay in this case. An inspector reported on 29 August that, contrary to a condition for payment of a grant under the scheme, the applicant was not occupying the house as his normal place of residence. Following correspondence in the case, a further inspection is now being arranged.
