APPENDIX XIX.

CANCELLATION OF HOUSING GRANTS AND LOANS.

The Chairman also enquired in relation to paragraph 46 which deals with Subhead H. 3 of Vote 54, Gaeltacht Services, and asked for information about Housing Grants and Loans which were cancelled because the applicants were unable or unwilling to comply with the conditions attached to them. The number of cancellations was 20. Of that number seven of the grantees made no move within the time laid down towards availing of the assistance sanctioned Seven others refused the assistance sanctioned as it was less than that available at the time under the General Housing Acts. Five others refused the assistance sanctioned without specifying any reasons, and the remaining grantee died. In addition there are 18 cases where small reductions were made in the amounts sanctioned because of failure to complete the work fully to the satisfaction of the Minister or of failure to proceed with the erection or repair of hen houses or piggeries.
