To give reassurance, we are looking at all grants, including housing adaptation for older people, the mobility aids grant and the disabled persons grants.

The review looked in the round at both income thresholds and the level of grants. They are all included in the review and the submissions made to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Active discussions are now taking place between the respective officials in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. This is very much a priority for the Department. All areas are being considered. An active body of work is under way and discussions and negotiations are taking place with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform at the moment. We hope to bring them to a conclusion as quickly as possible. Thereafter, along with announcing what has been agreed, we will publish the report.
