Noel O'Flynn
Ceist:238 Mr. O'Flynn asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if an unmarried person co-habiting with another unmarried person may obtain a new house grant in his or her name, in spite of the fact that this person's partner has already owned a house, whether the partner has obtained a new house grant or not; and if this situation differs if these two people were married, in that the prior ownership of the house by one spouse would preclude the other spouse from obtaining a new house grant.
