The person in question submitted an application in September 2004 under the scheme of community supports for older people as secretary of the parish council, New Inn, County Tipperary. A grant of €12,780 was paid in December 2004 in respect of that application.

I announced the 2005 scheme open for applications last month. The advertised closing date for receipt of applications was 24 May 2005. The process of collating the large number of applications received under the scheme is currently under way in my Department. All applications will be acknowledged in the coming days and the process of assessment will commence shortly thereafter.
