Limerick East): Responsibility for the provision of grants for the renovation and-or adaptation of private homes rests with the Department of the Environment. Depending on individual circumstances, health boards may be in a position to offer assistance in the health or social services area. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to the chief executive officer, South-Eastern Health Board with a request that he investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
