Showers under the new house grant scheme

Summary

Cosgrave asked for builders to be encouraged to install showers instead of baths. O’Leary said the grant scheme already permitted either or both, with no change planned; Fitzpatrick made a brief joke.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will, through the housing grants scheme, endeavour to get house builders to switch to providing showers instead of baths in the interest of water conservation.

The new house grant scheme already allows an applicant to provide either a shower or a bath, or both. I have no proposal to alter the scheme in this regard.
