Vol. 440 No. 1
87 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received an application for a special grant in 1994 to enable Galway County Council to clear the backlog of 94 applications on hand for disabled persons grants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
In October 1993, I received a request from Galway County Council for a special grant of £250,000 to meet the council's share of expenditure on disabled persons grants. The council were informed in reply that I have no funds which would enable me to make such a grant. On the general question of the funding of disabled persons grants, I refer to the reply to the Deputy's statement on the adjournment of the House on 1 March 1994.
