Written Answers. - County Kerry House Grant.
299.
There has been no avoidable delay in dealing with the case. An instalment was paid in May, 1974. As the special rate of new house grant has been allocated, the balance cannot be paid until my Department are satisfied that the applicant is the occupier of the house and that the work has been satisfactorily completed. Arrangements have been made for an inspection with a view to the payment of the balance.
