Ms Norma Purtill:

I take on board everything the Deputy says. We are constrained by resources but it is good to acknowledge that we have come far with the setting up of the housing disability steering groups in the local authorities. We are working with the likes of the HSE. From an allocations point of view, we work closely with Avista, the Daughters of Charity and the Brothers of Charity to assist individuals in submitting their application forms, getting on the housing waiting list and going from there. We are constrained but we can keep chipping away, doing what we can. If we got extra funding for the grants, it would be fantastic.
