I want to revisit the issue of housing adaptation grants. Louth County Council is not dealing with any new ones and is just working through its backlog. It also has an insufficient amount of money. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, spoke about the fact there needs to be, and there is going to be, a review of these adaptation grants for those with disabilities and older people with mobility issues. We will have to look at figures on the amounts and all the rest, because at this point in time we are failing and in some cases people are not able to leave hospital or there are people dealing with young people with severe needs and, as I said, we are not able to deliver for them.
