Michael Noonan

Ceist:

295 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if a new house grant application in the name of persons (details supplied) in County Limerick has been received in his Department; if a decision has been made; the options available to the person if their application cannot be traced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25807/03]

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

Applications under the first-time buyer's new house grant scheme, which was terminated from 14 November 2002, were required to be received in my Department on or before 4 December 2002. There is no record of the receipt of an application for a grant from the person named at the address given by that date and accordingly, a grant cannot be allowed.
