I propose to take Questions Nos. 565 to 567, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding under the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability. There are three separate grants available under the scheme and local authorities receive an overall allocation, with the responsibility for the apportionment between the 3 schemes being a matter for each authority. The allocations and drawdowns for Mayo County Council in the years requested are as follows:
| - | Allocation | Drawdown |
|---|---|---|
| 2011 | €2,274,400 | €2,268,000 |
| 2012 | €2,060,173 | €2,067,116 |
| 2013 | €2,060,173 | €2,143,834 |
| 2014 | €2,227,225 | €1,984,326 |
Information on the exchequer funding provided by my Department to each local authority for these schemes is available on my Department’s website at the following link: , by selecting ‘Social and Affordable Housing’, ‘Housing Adaptation Grants by Area 2008 to date’. Details of the 2015 allocations are contained on my Department’s website at the following link: .
