Last year, exchequer funding of over €37 million was provided for the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, with Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council receiving €3,030,439 and €1,077,562, respectively. I am pleased to be in a position to increase the national funding for the Schemes by some 10% in 2015 to €40.4 million from which I will shortly be making individual allocations to local authorities.
