Ms Mary Murphy:

It would be great to see a review of the housing assistance for older people and for people with disability grants. This is something we have become invested in recently because the housing aid for older persons grant is one of the few ways for elderly individuals to get central heating systems installed in their homes by the State in a subsidised way, which would be crucial for a lot of those who still do not have central heating and who may be dependent on something like turf. In this way, their heating source might be jeopardised or restricted if certain Government measures are enacted soon.
