Under the Disabled Persons Grants Scheme, capital funding is provided to local authorities for adaptations and extensions to the existing social housing stock to meet the needs of local authority tenants. My Department has recently given funding approval for the construction of extensions to 2 local authority houses in Ballynacarrigy and Castletowngeoghegan, Co. Westmeath. It is now a matter for the local authority to put arrangements in place for the necessary works to be carried out.
