298. Deputy Declan Breathnach asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of applications, the waiting times, the number of recipients and the number of refusals under the housing aid for older people, housing adaptation grants scheme and mobility aids grant scheme from each scheme's inception by scheme, by local authority and by year in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8975/16]
View answerInformation on the funding provided and grants paid to each local authority by my Department under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, since the grants were introduced, is available at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics.
The detailed administration of the grants, including the assessment, approval and prioritisation of grants to applicants under the various grants measures, is the responsibility of the relevant local authority and my Department does not hold information in relation to waiting times and refusals.
