Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 March 2022
138. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Social Protection the financial supports that are available for a family that is in inappropriate accommodation which it owns and which is no longer suitable for their child who is a wheelchair user in cases in which the financial circumstances do not allow for the family to purchase a new house; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe provision of housing supports is a matter for the Department of Housing, Planning, Local Government and Heritage, in conjunction with local authorities, which provide supports such as the Disabled Persons Grant scheme and Improvement Works In Lieu of Social Housing scheme. Furthermore, a range of measures is set out in Housing for All, including delivery of a new National Housing Strategy for People with a Disability (2022 – 2027).
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
