On 22 February 2013 I announced capital allocations to local authorities under the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability amounting to €42.750 million. Through active management of my Department's overall housing budget for 2013, I allocated further funding across all local authorities on 19 July bringing the overall funding for these grants to €45.607 million.

My Department's involvement with the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. The detailed administration of these schemes, including the assessment, approval and payment of grants to individual applicants under the various grant measures, is the responsibility of the relevant local authority, in this case Dublin City Council. These grants are not connected to the Home Renovation Incentive.
