|
11.—(1) The aggregate amount of the grants and loans to be made under this Act shall not exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
|
|
| |
(2) The amount of an individual grant made under this Act shall not exceed—
|
|
| |
(a) in the case of a building grant, the sum of eighty pounds, or
|
|
| |
(b) in the case of an improving grant, the sum of forty pounds, or
|
|

(c) in the case of a poultry-house building grant or a piggery building grant, the sum of five pounds, or
|
|
| |
(d) in the case of a poultry-house improving grant or a piggery improving grant, the sum of two pounds and ten shillings.
|
|
| |
(3) In the making of building grants and improving grants the Minister shall give a preference to the occupiers of dwelling-houses in which the Irish language is habitually used as the home language of the household, and amongst occupiers of such dwelling-houses the Minister shall give a preference to the occupiers of dwelling-houses having the greater overcrowding, the worse sanitary conditions and the lower valuation under the Valuation Acts.
|
|
| |
(4) So far as may be practicable having regard to the number and local distribution of the cases in which it appears to the Minister to be proper to make grants under this Act and to the foregoing provisions of this section, at least three-fifths of the moneys available for making grants under this Act shall be applied in making grants to occupiers of dwelling-houses situate in district electoral divisions in the Gaeltacht in which the valuation under the Valuation Acts of all hereditaments (other than hereditaments valued at more than twenty pounds) in the district electoral division when divided by the population of the district electoral division according to the census of 1926 yields a sum not exceeding twenty-one shillings.
