Vol. 564 No. 2
224 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the reason an application for a new house grant by a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath was not approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9184/03]
Applications under the new house grant scheme, which was terminated as and from 14 November 2002, were required to be received in my Department on or before 4 December 2002. The application in this case was received subsequent to that date and a new house grant cannot therefore be allowed.
225 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government when a new house grant will be awarded to a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath who made application for same some months ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9185/03]
Additional documentation requested from the applicant has been received and an inspection, with a view to payment of the grant, if in order, will be carried out as soon as possible.
