Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is a matter of a timeline and we all know the issue. Even when people get the grant - in Louth County Council it is upwards of €30,000 - it might not cover what it takes to keep somebody in their home and do the works that are necessary. I am dealing with a daughter who is very worried about her mother. It is not only the backlog and how long Louth County Council will take, it is the fact that even €30,000 will not cover the works that need to be done, given the costs at the moment.
