My Department's involvement in the disabled persons grant scheme relates primarily to the recoupment of a portion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. Details of the recoupments to local authorities so far in 2007 are set out in the table. Information on local authority activity under this scheme for the years 2002 to 2006 is published in my Department's Annual Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and on my Department's website, www.environ.ie. Complete statistical details in relation to this year will be published in due course in the 2007 Bulletin.
