I propose to take Questions Nos. 567 to 569, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability. There are three separate grants available and local authorities receive an overall allocation, with the responsibility for the apportionment between the three grants being a matter for each authority.
Information on the exchequer funding provided by my Department to each local authority for these grants is available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/, by selecting ‘Social and Affordable Housing’, ‘Housing Adaptation Grants by Area 2008 to date’. Information on the 2015 allocations are contained on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/en/GeneralNews/MainBody,41581,en.html.
Allocations for 2016 will be notified to local authorities in the New Year.
