Jim Higgins
Ceist:155 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will make arrangements for the payment of a grant for a slatted house for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo who has had the work completed for some time and whose work has not yet been inspected.

An inspection of the completed works has taken place in this case.
