‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Grant Payments. Grant time limits for essential repairs
Summary
Leonard argued that grants for essential services and repairs should not depend on completion dates. O’Brien replied that grants are paid when applicants comply with the regulations.
Would the Minister agree that it should be the primary aim of the Department to assist householders in providing money for water, sewerage facilities and structural repairs? It is ridiculous that there is a time limit put on people trying to provide those essential services. It is high time to forget about dates of completion and commencement. If people require such facilities they should be given funds to provide them.
