My Department allocated €317,377 to Kilkenny County Council on 23 May, 2011 to enable them to meet their expenditure in 2011 in respect of Improvement Works in Lieu/Extensions and Disabled Person's Grants. It is a matter for the County Council to decide which works should be carried out under these headings subject to full compliance with my Department's scheme conditions.
