Under the terms of the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability, which is administered by the local authorities, grants of up to €30,000 may be available for the provision or adaptation of accommodation to meet the needs of people with a disability. It is a matter for individual authorities to determine what works are eligible and to prioritise them in line with their systems of prioritisation.
