I approved a record Exchequer allocation of €80 million for 2010 to local authorities on 5 March under the suite of Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. The total 2010 allocation to Tipperary North County Council amounts to €1.65m, including €1.34m in Exchequer funding. My Department will review the funding position in the course of the year in the event of any under-spend by local authorities of their allocations for these grant schemes or other allocations under the wider social housing investment programme.
