Mr. Graham Doyle:
As regards those grants, I think the funding that has been provided has increased over recent years. I will just get the figures here. In just the past three years the funding has moved from about €56 million to €69 million, and this year it is around the same amount. Around 12,000 adaptation grants have been done in the past couple of years and, as far as I am aware, we are essentially at full spend on those items. This is Ms Timmons's area in the context of looking to increase that budget, if that is what the Deputy is asking.
