asked the Minister for the Environment if, in relation to the new home improvement grants (a) nationally, (b) in Galway city and county, he will state (1) the number of applications for new home improvement grants received to date; (2) the number of applications approved; and (3) the number of applications where work has been carried out through the scheme.

asked the Minister for the Environment the total number of house improvement grant applications received and the number for Galway city and county; the number of approvals in each case; and the number of applicants who have claimed payments of the grant to date.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 45 and 46 together.
