Fergus O'Brien Mr. F. O'Brien Fine Gael

I propose to reply to Questions Nos. 5 and 6 together.

The following table shows the number of applications made and the number of approvals issued in respect of (a) the new house grant scheme and (b) the improvement grant scheme for the years 1982, 1983 and 1984 for County Kerry.

The information requested regarding rejections is not readily available in my Department because details of rejected applications are not maintained and with the available staff resources it would not be possible to have this information extracted without seriously affecting the progress of day-to-day work.
