The allocations for the housing adaptation grants for all local authorities, including Louth, have been issued to the local authorities, with a further increase in that regard. The issue of a backlog of applications in Louth County Council has been raised by other Deputies too, including Deputy O'Dowd who is here also. My Department officials are engaging directly with them. We overspent our budget last year on housing adaptation grants. I fully support this roll-out. We will do that and we are engaging with Louth County Council to see if there is any assistance we can give in working through their backlog.
