The total estimated demand by local authorities for the operation of the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability in 2009 is approximately €147 million. This estimate includes applications that have been assessed as eligible, as well as applications not yet assessed and the projected intake of new applications during the year. The estimated value of grant applications on hand, at December 2008, as notified to my Department by each local authority, amounts to approximately €118.9 million.
A breakdown of individual local authority estimated demand for 2009, along with the estimated value of grant applications on hand in each local authority area in December 2008, is set out in the following table:
