Ulick Burke
Ceist:140 Mr. U. Burke asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the plans, if any, he has to increase the floor area for new house grant applicants; his views on whether the present floor area is very restricted taking house design into account; if he will increase the grant amount in proportion to house costs now as against the cost of housing when it was last increased; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
