Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

The detailed administration of the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, including the assessment, approval and payment of individual grants to applicants, is the responsibility of the relevant local authority.

I understand from the local authority in question that they are awaiting the submission of estimates of costs for the works from the applicant in question, in order to progress the application further.
