Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2005
262 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, further to previous parliamentary questions, if the long outstanding funds due for installation of alarms in the homes of the elderly will be paid forthwith to a company (details supplied); the reason this money has not been paid to date; and the procedures now in place to gain approval for a person. [5995/05]
View answerI am advised by my Department that, following representations received from the Deputy in September 2004, an application form was issued to the group in question for completion. The application form and documentation was returned by the group, but was seriously deficient in terms of the information and documentation required under the scheme of community support for older people.
A letter issued to the group on 20 November 2004 requesting further information-documentation. My Department is still awaiting receipt of this information and documentation. Upon receipt of same the application will be further considered by my Department.
