Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 December 2012
198. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will outline the allocations made to Cavan County Council and Monaghan County Council under the housing adaptation grant schemes for older people and people with a disability for each year since 2007; the funding drawn down by each council each year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57638/12]
View answerThe Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes are funded by 80% recoupment available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority. It is a matter for each local authority to decide on the specific level of funding to be directed to each of the various grant measures, and to manage the operation of the schemes in their areas from within their allocation.
Details of the combined Exchequer and local authority allocations in respect of Cavan and Monaghan County Councils for the years 2007 to 2012 and the amount recouped to each authority are set out in the following table:
