asked the Minister for the Environment if he will arrange for the immediate payment of a reconstruction grant to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.

On receipt of notification of completion of work an inspection will be arranged with a view to payment of the sewerage grant, if in order.

Grants in respect of the building of a bathroom and a bedroom could not be allowed in this case because, contrary to a qualifying condition of the scheme, the work had commenced before an inspection of the house was carried out. Neither could grants in respect of the provision of a water supply and the building of a chimney be allowed as the Department's inspector reported that these facilities were already in existence in the house.

There is no record in my Department of the receipt of an application for a new house grant or mortgage subsidy from the person named.
