I propose to take Questions Nos. 403, 404, 405, 406 and 407 together.

My Department provides funding under the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, to assist people in private houses to make their accommodation more suitable for their needs.  Details on the number of grants paid and the amount spent for the past five years by all local authorities, are available on my Department's website at the following link: 

https://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics. 

The detailed administration of the grants including their assessment, approval and prioritisation, is the responsibility of local authorities. My Department does not hold information in relation to the number of unsuccessful applications or the relevant application/payment processing times for individual local authorities.  This information may be available directly from the local authorities.

Question No. 404 answered with Question No. 403.
Question No. 405 answered with Question No. 403.
