NOTES:
(1) The details set out above have been extracted from schemes furnished to the Department by the authorities concerned.
(2) In those cases where a range of percentages is shown in columns (2) and (3), the percentage of the State grant which is paid by the authority as a supplementary grant varies according to the income of the applicant or the rateable valuation of the property occupied by him.
(3) The percentages shown in columns (3) and (4) are subject to the statutory requirement that the combined total of State and supplementary grants may not exceed two-thirds of the approved cost of the work.
(4) In some cases, supplementary grant schemes in respect of urban areas are administered by the county councils concerned.
(5) Dublin Corporation pay supplementary grants equal to 100% of the State grant to Corporation tenants who surrender clear possession of their dwellings and to persons who are on the Corporation's approved waiting list for re-housing.
