Allocations to all local authorities in respect of Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, including to Meath County Council, will be made in the next few weeks. Funding of over €37 million was provided for these grants last year and I am pleased to confirm that amount will increase by some 10% in 2015 to €40.4 million, comprising both my Department’s funding and a further amount being provided by certain local authorities themselves.
