Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

An application for additional funding in respect of the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability has been received from Meath County Council. I am keeping the funding of the housing adaptation schemes under active review and expect to contact all local authorities in regard to their allocation by the end of this month.
