Vol. 552 No. 1

Written Answers. - Grant Payment.

Emmet Stagg

Ceist:

453 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that only 5% of applicants for the central heating grant scheme in County Kildare have been approved for work to be carried out in 2002 and that 200 families and single persons remain on the waiting list; and if he will allocate further funding for this scheme. [11670/02]

I assume the question refers to the self-help grant scheme operated by Kildare County Council under which funding is provided to enable tenants of local authority rented dwellings to carry out improvements to their dwellings. The administration of this scheme, which is funded from the council's revenue resources, is a matter for the local authority and my Department is not involved.
