asked the Minister for the Environment when a house improvement grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in Dundalk, County Louth.

Under the Housing Regulations 1980 (as amended), the latest date for completion of the work was 30 June 1981. As this condition was not complied with in this case a grant cannot be paid.

653.

asked the Minister for the Environment the reason for the delay in paying a grant to a person (details supplied) in Clonmany, County Donegal; and when payment will be made.

There is no record in my Department of the receipt of an application for a housing grant from the person named.
