I believe there has been a serious infringement of equality legislation in the context of the recent allocation for grants for people with disabilities and mobility problems, as well as grants for older people for the refurbishment of their houses to ensure they can live in reasonably comfortable homes. We are breaking the law seriously. Deputy Healy-Rae and I are well aware that hundreds of applications have been made in County Kerry and these applicants have been certified medically by doctors and consultants as being eligible for grants. We are not in compliance with the legislation in this respect. I ask the Minister and the Minister of State, Deputy O'Sullivan, who are here today and who are both from Limerick, to examine this situation, because it is very serious, particularly in County Kerry.

There is no particular legislation promised, but if the Deputy is referring to the difficulties that have arisen from the ruling of the Ombudsman under equality legislation regarding persons with disabilities, the Minister for Health and his officials are actively engaged with representatives of the disability groups to ensure that a solution of equal value is brought forward.
