asked the Minister for Energy if he has decided to allocate an EC grant for an ESB connection for a person (details supplied) in County Kerry.

Due to pressure of work in this area it has not been possible for the ESB to deal with this application as quickly as it would like. However an official from the ESB's Tralee Office will be calling on the applicant this week and I can assure the Deputy that the application will be processed as soon as possible.
