I propose to take Questions Nos. 477 to 479, inclusive, together.

Details of the allocations to local authorities in respect the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability over the period 2009 to 2014 are set out in the table below. There are three distinct measures under this scheme, the Housing Adaptation Grants for People with a Disability, the Housing Aid for Older People and the Mobility Aids Grants. It is a matter for the Local Authority to apportion the overall allocation between the three measures. The schemes are funded by 80% recoupments available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority.
