The Urban and Village Renewal Grant Scheme operated by my Department was to support local authority projects designed to improve the quality of the environment for persons living, visiting and working in the area. The grant scheme did not relate to housing or the refurbishment of housing units: separate schemes are operated by the local authorities for refurbishment or repair of housing units under specific circumstances. My Department has contacted the local authority in question, Longford County Council, who have confirmed that they have no record of having received an application from the person named.
