asked the Minister for the Environment if applicants for a mortgage subsidy, who are not applying for new house grants, because they qualify for Gaeltacht grants, are required to submit certified SL.4 forms with their mortgage subsidy applications.
Written Answers. - Mortgage Subsidy Applicants.

Mr. Coughlan
The mortgage subsidy scheme was introduced to reduce the impact of mortgage payments on first time owner occupiers and a certificate from the inspector of taxes (SL.4) is required from each applicant for subsidy to establish that he is a first time borrower. This requirement applies irrespective of whether a new house grant is paid by my Department or Roinn na Gaeltachta.
