Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 April 2015
175. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding the funding for home adaptation in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16074/15]
View answerMy Department provides funding to local authorities for various social housing supports, including for adaptations and extensions to the social housing stock to meet needs of local authority tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Funding provided by my Department meets 90% of the cost of such works, with each local authority providing the remaining 10%. The administration of the grants is a matter for individual local authorities.
My Department has received proposals in relation to this scheme for 2015 from each local authority which are currently being examined with a view to allocating funding to each authority as soon as possible.
