598 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 is entitled to avail of the security scheme for the elderly. [8989/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe purpose of the scheme of community support for older people is to improve the security and social support of vulnerable people aged 65 years or over. Voluntary groups and organisations that have undertaken to identify such older people receive a grant. Under the terms of the scheme the grant goes towards the once-off costs of purchase and/or installation of small scale physical security equipment and socially monitored alarm systems.
Later this year the 2004 scheme will be advertised and the person referred to may apply through one of the participating organisations. A list of organisations funded under the scheme in the south Dublin region in 2003 is as follows:
