572. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the amount of funding that has been allocated for the housing adaption grant scheme in 2015; the amount that has been allocated to Dublin City Council and to Fingal County Council to fund the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7818/15]
View answerLast year, exchequer funding of over €37 million was provided for the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, with Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council receiving €3,030,439 and €1,077,562, respectively. I am pleased to be in a position to increase the national funding for the Schemes by some 10% in 2015 to €40.4 million from which I will shortly be making individual allocations to local authorities.
