Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 869 to 874, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability. There are three separate grants available and local authorities receive an overall allocation, with the responsibility for the apportionment between the three grants being a matter for each authority.
Information on Exchequer funding provided by my Department to each local authority, including Cork City and County Councils, for these grants over the period concerned is available on my Department’s website at the following link http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/, by selecting ‘Social and Affordable Housing’, ‘Housing Adaptation Grants by Area 2008 to date’. Details of the 2015 allocations are on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/en/GeneralNews/MainBody,41581,en.html.
