413. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that new applications for housing adaptation grants within the Louth County Council area were closed due to a backlog of applications and a lack of available funding; his plans to address the same; his plans to ensure the scheme is open year-round across all local authorities instead of opening and closing at various points; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

414. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the reasons the 2.3% funding increase to housing adaptation grants announced on 2 May 2023 did not match inflation or the current level of need, given that local authorities are having to close these grants to new applicants due to demand; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
