Dr. Emer Begley:

There is something about looking at the existing infrastructure as well as having something that is digital specific. For example, the aids and appliances grant that is given by the HSE could be expanded. We could look at the home adaptation grant, which is not sufficient for building work, but there are a lot of smart technologies now that can support people to live independently at home. That could be incorporated into the home adaptation grant and the work and access programme-----
