Amharc ar fhreagraInformation on the funding provided and grants paid to each local authority by my Department under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, since the grants were introduced, is available at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics.
The detailed administration of the grants, including the assessment, approval and prioritisation of grants to applicants under the various grants measures, is the responsibility of the relevant local authority and my Department does not hold information in relation to waiting times and refusals.
