Ceist:

161 Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the reason a group subsidy was not paid in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Kerry who submitted an application in November 1982 and subsequently submitted all relevant documentation; if he will now issue this grant-subsidy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O’Sullivan)

My Department has reviewed the documentation in this case and a decision has been made to approve the payment of a mortgage subsidy. A letter, outlining the arrangements to be put in place for drawing down the subsidy, will issue to the applicant very shortly.
