Information is set out in the table in respect of the funding my Department has provided to date in 2016 to local authorities under the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, as well as the number of grants concerned. The funding figures represent the 80% provision for these grants that comes from the exchequer; a further 20% is provided from the resources of the local authorities.

I intend to increase the funding for the schemes for 2017 in the context of Rebuilding Ireland: Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness. Local authorities will receive an overall allocation for the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability and, as is the case in every year, the apportionment of this overall allocation across the three schemes will be a matter for each authority.
