(Cavan-Monaghan) asked the Minister for the Environment the reason for the delay in paying a new house grant to a person (details supplied) in County Cavan; if he will arrange for immediate payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The delay in the payment of a grant in this case arises from the failure of the applicant to furnish a certificate from his inspector of taxes as evidence that neither he nor his wife had ever built or purchased a house previously. He was asked to furnish this certificate on 17 September 1980, 12 May 1981, 21 January 1982, and again on 11 June 1982.
