Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 February 2017
117. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the budget provided to each local authority in each of the past ten years, including 2017, under schemes (details supplied). [6501/17]
View answerInformation on the funding provided to each local authority under the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability from 2008 to 2016 is available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics.
In 2016, Exchequer funding of €45m was made available to local authorities for these grants. I expect to be in a position to increase that funding for 2017 and the allocations to individual local authorities will issue shortly.
