Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 November 2015
240. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his plans to introduce a scheme similar to the existing grant, HA2/T, for the renewal and repair of thatched roofs on commercial properties (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38849/15]
View answerUnder the terms of my Department’s scheme of Grants for the Renewal/Repair of Thatching Roofs of a House, a grant is available towards the cost of renovating thatched roofs of owner occupied houses. Commercial properties may be included only where the property is also used as a normal place of residence. I have no plans to introduce a scheme for the renewal/repair of thatched roofs on commercial properties more generally.
