Brendan Griffin
Question:206. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will consider a new housing aid scheme for 60-65 year olds who can no longer avail of the housing aid for older people scheme; if he has considered that many persons in this age bracket get work done to their homes while they can still qualify for loans from financial institutions and that having to wait until 66 years of age will mean that those with no savings will not be able to do the work needed; if there is any other form of aid for persons in this age bracket with urgent roof improvement works needed who can not afford to pay for it; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
