Earlier this year I announced details of the 75 individual projects to be advanced under my Department's funding schemes for voluntary and co-operative housing, including the project being advanced by Croom Voluntary Housing Association at Towerfield in Croom. My Department has been liaising closely with Limerick County Council in relation to this proposal and a decision on grant approval will be notified to the Council very shortly.

Question 457: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will consider extending the housing adaption grant to include tenants of local authorities, who now have to wait for many years in order to have necessary adaptions to their home undertaken to accommodate a person with a disability; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under my Department's Social Housing Investment Programme, funding of up to 90% of cost is provided to local authorities to undertake necessary adaptations and extensions to their housing stock to meet the needs of tenants with a disability. I have no proposals to extend the scope of the suite of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability to include local authority dwellings.
