152.

View answerThe funding provided to County Councils in respect of adaptations and extensions to meet the needs of tenants with a disability is allocated and recouped on a county-at-large basis. Information on the amounts spent in each of the nine town councils in County Cork is not available in my Department and could appropriately be sought from the relevant town councils. Details of the funding provided to Cork County Council and Cork City Council over the period 2009 -2012 and to date in 2013 are set out in the following table:
