House improvement grants
Deputy Boylan sought the start date for house improvement grants under the package. The Minister said other elements, including those involving other Departments, would be put in place soon—within weeks.
I did not get an answer to the second part of my question, in regard to house improvement grants.
Comment on this
I would like to tell the House, although I negotiated the whole package, there are other elements in the package, some of which extend to other Ministers and thus are not for me to implement but they will be put in place very soon. Those elements which affect my own Department will be put in place very soon but, as we all agree, this is the first element which had to be put in place. The rest will follow very quickly.
