The grant is not means tested. It was devised to assist a household or individual who needed to make adjustments or additions to a dwelling to accommodate a disabled person, for example, somebody who is confined to a wheelchair, or has an illness resulting in a permanent disability that necessitates the installation of a shower where a bath cannot be used or a downstairs bathroom or bedroom. The scheme has proved extremely popular: we were told, at county council level, that in north Tipperary we have one of the highest numbers of applications for the scheme outside the cities. That suggests that either word of mouth has got around that the scheme is very successful and accessible or the quality of housing, particularly among the elderly, is so bad that it needs a major upgrade.
