There is no record in my Department of the receipt of an application from a person at the address given. However, a grant of £970 was paid on 12 February 1981 to a person of the same name with a slightly different address in the Tramore area.

As notification of completion of reconstruction work was not received on or before 30 June 1981 as required under the Housing Regulation 1980 (as amended) my Department are now precluded from payment of the grant. However, arrangements are being made for payment of a sewerage grant of £150.

There has been no delay in my Department in dealing with this case. An inspection in April 1981 revealed that the house was unoccupied. Following notification by the applicant that the house is now occupied, a further inspection is being arranged with a view to payment of the grant, if in order. The inspection will be carried out as soon as possible.
