Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 November 2015
39. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if she will accept a late application for the water conservation grant from a person (details supplied) in County Louth who has registered with Irish Water and paid all Irish Water bills to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39639/15]
View answerThe Department is administering the Water Conservation Grant on behalf of the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government. The regulations governing the Water Conservation Grant are set out in the Water Services Act 2014 (Water Conservation Grant) Regulations 2015. Statutory Instrument 434 of 2015 provided for the extension of the deadline for the submission of a completed application for the Water Conservation Grant to the Department of Social Protection from 8 October 2015 to 22 October 2015. Therefore the extended deadline has now passed.
I understand that an officer of this Department will be in contact with your office to establish the circumstances of this particular case.
