I refer to the reply to Question No. 20 on today's Order Paper. On the basis of the most recent returns from local authorities, 13,012 applications have been submitted and are awaiting approval under the suite of Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. In the case of Kildare County Council, which administers the scheme on a county at large basis, the number of applications on hand in January 2010 was 635.
