Deputy Munster will be aware that there was a recent allocation of Government funding for housing adaptation grants. I take the Deputy's point about waiting lists. A review was carried out by the Department on the housing adaptation grant scheme and I am giving that serious consideration at the moment. The Government and the local authorities are very conscious of this issue. All I can say is that an allocation of funding was given quite recently for the current year. I have just received a proposal from my Department following its review of the housing adaptation grant scheme and I will certainly take under advice the points the Deputy has made.
