The administration of the disabled persons and essential repairs grant schemes is a matter for individual local authorities, in this case Louth County Council. The council received a capital allocation of €1,120,000 for the payment of disabled persons and essential repairs grants in 2005, which was the full amount sought by it for this purpose. No further requests for increased funding have been received from the council in respect of these schemes.
