I propose to take Questions Nos. 565 to 567, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding under the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. There are three separate grants available under the scheme and local authorities receive an overall allocation, with the responsibility for the apportionment between the 3 schemes being a matter for each authority. The allocations and drawdowns for Mayo County Council in the years requested are as follows:
