The scheme of community support for older people is administered by community and voluntary organisations on an annual basis with support provided by my Department. An application was received in May of this year from the Carers Association, Kilkenny, under the scheme. The scheme guidelines outline that applicant organisations, when submitting their application, must provide certain documentation including accounts for expenditure of previous grants received under the scheme. When the information required by my Department is received from the Carers Association, the application, which includes the address in question, will be processed.
