The programme for Government refers to supports for independent living for older people. So far this year, Louth County Council has dealt with 460 applications for housing adaptation grants for older people and people with disabilities. This includes 138 applications from last year which could not proceed due to a lack of Government funding. Of those 138 carried over applications, 76 were deemed to be priority 1 applications on the part of seriously ill people. Louth County Council has recently received its Government allocation but it is nowhere near adequate. In fact, it is totally inadequate.
