Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-14
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I understand the merits of this amendment, but I believe the Minister said yesterday that where there was a shortfall, people, particularly the elderly and people with disabilities, can apply for the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, grants and for the housing adaptation grant, and that is up to €30,000. The mobility grants are available up to €8,000. There are different schemes the Minister specified people could access if there was a shortfall, and that is for that cohort I am referring to here, namely, the elderly and people with disabilities. I am sure the Minister of State will clarify here that the shortfall could be made up by those grants and that people could access them from these schemes.
