Written Answers - Housing Grants.

Pat Carey

Ceist:

233 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will examine the eligibility of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11 for a first time buyer's grant on a property purchased in April 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5811/03]

Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

Applications under the new house grant scheme, which was terminated as and from 14 November 2002, were required to be received in my Department on or before 4 December 2002. The application in this case was received subsequent to that date and a new house grant cannot therefore be allowed.
