Written answers

Information on the funding spent by each local authority under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 is available on my Department’s website at the following link : http://www.environ.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics.

Information on the funding allocated to each local authority by my Department under the se Grants for those years is set out in the table.

My Department works closely with the local authorities to achieve a full drawdown of their allocations and there is careful scrutiny of spend,as each year progresses. This normally results in any underspend by particular local authorities being redistributed to those local authorities with high levels of grant activity who sought additional funding.
