Donegal disabled persons grant

Summary

The local authority had received the application and sought the Department’s views because of unusual circumstances; the Department had no objection to the proposals. The remaining exchanges concerned whether unanswered questions would receive written replies if the Dáil were dissolved, and the Chair agreed to written replies for Collins’s questions and received Deasy’s request.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received an application from the Donegal County Council to pay a disabled person's housing grant to a person (details supplied); and if, in view of the special circumstances, he will have this matter dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Donegal County Council have received an application for a disabled persons grant from the person named. While the approval of a grant is a matter for the local authority, they have asked for the views of my Department, because of the unusual circumstances. They have been informed that the Department has no objections to the particular proposals.

In the event of the Dáil being dissolved between now and next Tuesday what happens to the remaining questions on the Order Paper? Are they answered by way of written reply?

They disappear. Of course, we cannot anticipate the dissolution of the Dáil.
