Vol. 467 No. 1

Written Answers. - Housing Aid for the Elderly.

Cecilia Keaveney

Ceist:

170 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Environment whether further moneys will be made available to the housing aid for the elderly scheme which is the only true source of funding for those wishing to do small but vital improvements to their dwellings and which is currently underfunded in many parts of the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12496/96]

In recognition of the valuable work being done under the aegis of the Task Force on Special Housing Aid for the Elderly, £4 million was provided for the scheme in 1996, compared with £3 million in 1995. I am not in a position to further increase the amount in 1996.
