Parliamentary Question to the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

5th February 2013 - Alan Farrell TD

To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if the budget for housing adaption grants have been approved for local authorities in 2013; and when this announcement is due to be made.

Reply from Minister of State Jan O’Sullivan T.D.

Work is currently underway on preparing the capital allocations under the housing programme for 2013, including the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability. As part of this process, my Department requested local authorities to submit details of their funding requirements under the grant schemes. The information received is being assessed at present. I intend to announce details of the capital allocations to individual authorities as soon as possible.
