Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing for Older People: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Ms Mary Hurley:

We consider our schemes on an annual basis. The largest review was in 2013. There was consultation in that regard and various tweaks were made to the scheme in terms of the types of product and adaptations that were eligible. The most significant change involved the change of the qualifying age from 60 to 65.
