The eligibility criteria for the Water Conservation Grant are set out in the Water Services Act 2014 (Water Conservation Grant) Regulations. Under regulation 5(1) a person who registers with Irish Water, as required under section 5(2)(a) of the Water Services Act 2014, on or before 30 June 2015 shall be eligible to receive the grant in 2015 if they were normally resident at the principal private residence on that date

Therefore in the case of the person concerned, to be eligible to receive the grant in 2015, they must have been normally resident at the principal private residence on 30 June 2015. From the information provided, it would appear that the property you refer to is a holiday home and not their principal private residence.
