The New House Grant Scheme, which was administered by my Department, was terminated on 14 November 2002. The Scheme provided for a grant of €3,810 to be paid to first time buyers, where a contract to purchase or to build a house was entered into on or before 14 November 2002 and where an application had been received in my Department on or before 4 December 2002. Exchequer funding paid under this scheme to first time buyers since 1990 is set out in the following table.
