The NRP deals with housing and Housing for All. I again want to raise the issue of housing adaptation grants. The fact is that Louth County Council is not accepting applications for these grants at present is because it does not have the funding it needs. The Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy O'Donnell, has spoken of a review. From the point of view of people with disabilities, particularly those who are older and who have mobility issues, such a review needs to look at how we ensure that there is sufficient funding and that we do not have cases like that to which I refer where there is not enough money in the fund and where Louth County Council and other local authorities are not accepting applications and are working through a backlog.

None of this is fit to deliver for people.
