asked the Minister for the Environment if an applicant for a new house grant and mortgage subsidy is eligible if they previously claimed tax relief for temporary accommodation in the form of a mobile home through taking out a loan through a credit union; if such a claim for tax relief debars payment of a mortgage subsidy or, in view of the fact that it would be just temporary accommodation, if it would be considered irrelevant.
To be eligible for a new house grant and mortgage subsidy, an applicant would, in normal circumstances, have to meet the condition that he or his spouse, either separately or with each other, had never previously purchased or built a house for his or their own occupation. Whether or not this condition is met in the case described by the Deputy can be determined only when the full circumstances of the case are ascertained through the making of an application.
