My Department provides funding to local authorities for various social housing supports, including for adaptations and extensions to the social housing stock to meet needs of tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Kildare County Council was recently allocated funding of €329,829 for such purposes.

The administration of this funding is a matter for each local authority to manage. My Department has no role in individual cases, including in respect of related correspondence between the Ombudsman and a local authority.
