Housing Schemes
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-09
============================================================

Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I again thank Senator Wall for raising this, as he has done on previous occasions. I will raise the review with the Minister, Deputy O'Brien. It is important that is completed this year As the Senator said, these are a very valuable resource to make people's lives better and allow them to live independently. As a State, that is the space we need to be in. As I said, we have increased the funding year-on-year since 2014, which will allow a greater number of grants to be provided to carry out works. It is important that the works are carried out and people have access to the services. I will raise it with the Minister and look forward to working with the Senator in the future. I will provide an update.
