Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

My Department is finalising a review of the disabled persons grant scheme. On completion of the review, I will be in a position to determine the changes, if any, required to the regulations governing the scheme to ensure that the funding available is directed at those persons in greatest need of such assistance.
