asked the Minister for the Environment when the site subsidies under the small builders scheme will be paid to the persons who purchased houses in Ashwood Estate, Clondalkin, County Dublin.
Written Answers. - Clondalkin (Dublin) Houses.
950.
A subsidy is paid by my Department to housing authorities towards the annual loan charges incurred in the provision by the authorities of sites for private houses for certain eligible categories of purchasers. The value of the subsidy, currently a maximum of £500, is then passed on to the purchaser by the housing authority by way of reduction in the sale price of the site. I understand from Dublin County Council that the development of Ashwood Estate, Clondalkin, is not yet fully completed. The council will, in due course, re-imburse eligible persons the value of the subsidy.
