Ned O'Keeffe

Question:

724 Mr. N. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if a new house grant application from a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be accepted in view of the fact that the house contract was signed in July 2002. [15560/03]

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

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.
