‹ Order of Business Housing grants legislation
Summary
Robert Troy seeks an early debate on legislation concerning local-authority housing grants for elderly and disabled people, which he says have been unfairly restricted; the Tánaiste says it will come this session.
When will the housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill come before the House to give all Members an opportunity to debate the grants payable by local authorities to the elderly and disabled? The recent changes announced by the Labour Party Minister of State with responsibility for housing can only be described as a callous, calculated attempt to restrict eligibility to grant aid for the most vulnerable people in our society.
Comment on this
When will that most important legislation come before the House?
