I propose to take Questions Nos. 879, 885 and 886 together.

I am conscious of the need for local authorities to be able to deploy available resources as early as possible in order to maximise their impact for households availing of the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. Therefore, local authorities will be notified of their capital allocations in respect of the Schemes without delay following the publication of the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2009.
