Question:92 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment if he will sanction payment of disabled persons grant to a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [2707/96]
Written Answers. - Disabled Person's Grant.
Leitrim County Council is responsible for the administration of the disabled person's grant scheme to which this application relates. The provision of funds for the payment of these grants is primarily a matter for the local authority concerned. My Department recoups a proportion of the expenditure incurred by the local authority in the payment of individual grants.
In this case, the county council has been informed that the Department will recoup the appropriate portion of any grant paid in respect of the works proposed to this house.
