(Limerick West) asked the Minister for the Environment the reason approval has not issued for the provision of a house improvement grant to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick.
An application was received in this case on 26 July, 1983 and it was refused on the grounds that a previous grant had been paid in respect of the house within the stipulated waiting period. The applicant was so informed on 29 August 1983 and she was invited to request a review of her eligibility when the waiting period would elapse in September 1985 if she wished to defer commencing the work in the meantime. No further communication was, however, received by the Department in the case. If the particular works still remain to be carried out it is open to the person concerned to furnish an application for a grant under the current scheme to the Department.
