THE Environment Minister’s decision to make a supplementary allocation of €500,000 available for the operation of three schemes, namely, Housing for Older People, Housing Adaptions and Mobility Aid has been welcomed by Cllr Pat Kennedy.
“This follows a recent discussion at Limerick City Council’s Housing Strategic Policy Committee and the passing of a resolution proposed by myself that we seek a substantial increase in the funding for these schemes,” he said.
“The total funding for these very worthwhile schemes for elderly people and disabled persons will be €2.025million in 2011, as compared to €60.890 million in 2007.”
