Housing adaptation grant review
Deputy Ellis sought the timing of the review of housing adaptation grants for older people and people with disabilities. The Minister of State said the review was finalised and would be published before the end of the year.
Under the Government's housing plan, a review of the housing adaptation grant scheme for older people and people with disabilities is under way. Grant limits and income thresholds are being considered. Does the Tánaiste know when this review will be done? Inflation has gone up considerably and has eaten into this.
