Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

The review of the operation of the disabled persons grant schemes will be finalised shortly and I will then be in a position to consider the changes which may be required to ensure that the scheme continues to assist those persons in greatest need of such grant assistance.
