Grant Payments
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-18
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

There are obviously two aspects. The Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is the senior Minister so he obviously received the report as well. Looking at housing adaptation grants falls under my specific remit. The Deputy will have to take my word. I have only recently received the review. I am actively working on it. I am actively meeting officials to see how we can progress it. I take the Deputy’s point in regard to individual local authorities. We want to see these schemes working. Some colleagues have said that some local authorities have reached their limit already. We ask the local authorities to engage with the Department in order that we can see what we can do. I give a commitment that the review itself and the report that has been produced by my officials is under detailed active consideration at the moment. That is a commitment I give to the House.
