512 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position whereby a person applies to their local authority for a disabled person’s grant to install heating in their home and is informed that this work cannot be grant aided under the scheme unless it is carried out with other major works; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that many ill and elderly persons who own their own homes are not in a position to meet the cost of such work; if he proposes to put in place another scheme to grant aid the installation of heating; and if he will clarify the position in relation to existing applicants under this scheme who applied, in some cases, over one year ago, for grant aid to install heating and who have now been informed that they cannot be approved.
