Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s involvement with the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. These schemes, introduced in November 2007, are funded by 80% recoupments available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority.
Details of the initial Exchequer allocations to Cavan County Council for the years 2008 – 2013 , together with the amounts recouped to the Council over that period are set out in the following table :
