Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2013
374. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide in tabular form a breakdown by county of the number of housing adaption grants distributed in 2010, 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013; the amount of money spent per annum; the number awaiting decision in 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44687/13]
View answerMy Department’s involvement in the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of the individual grants. The grants 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 determine how the funding is apportioned between the various grant measures and to manage the operation of the schemes in their areas from within the allocations provided by my Department. The detailed information requested in relation to the number of applications on hands awaiting decision in local authorities is not available in my Department. Information in relation to capital allocations and the number of grants paid over the period 2010 to date is set out in the following table:
