Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2014
573. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide details of an application for funding from a public body (details supplied) in County Laois; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40188/14]
View answerMy Department provides funding to local authorities for adaptations and extensions to the existing social housing stock to meet the needs of tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. I allocated funding to local authorities under this measure in September 2014 and Laois County Council was allocated €53,957 based on a list of properties it identified requiring urgent adaptation works. It is now a matter for the local authority to prioritise the programme of works to be advanced within the allocation.
