Adjournment Matters. - Disabled Person's Grant.
North Tipperary unfortunately finds itself in this position, which is regrettable. I received the information from the Senator's local authority in the last week. However, the allocations I have given in terms of local government funding and non-national roads have been much better than anticipated. I allocated all the resources I could to ensure local authorities would not in any way be cut back on the funding available to them last year. As a consequence, I do not have any extra resources in any kitty to meet the Senator's or other local authorities' legitimate requirements. Nevertheless, we will look at the matter and talk to the officials concerned about it.
