This year I allocated some €8.643 million to Kerry County Council in respect of the various measures supported under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP). In addition, I allocated €2.606 million in respect of the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. I recently allocated a further €420,000 to the Council for the construction of rural houses over the period 2012 – 2014. Having regard to the existing high level of commitments under the SHIP, I am not in a position to approve additional funding for Kerry County Council at this time.
