There’s been a general welcome for Tipperary’s allocation under the Housing Adaptation Scheme.
The Premier is to get €3.2 million to improve the homes of older people and those living with a disability.
Grants of up to €30,000 are available to assist people with a disability in carrying out necessary works to make a house more suitable for their needs.
The grants are 80% funded by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government with the remaining 20% coming from Tipperary County Council.
Local manager of Family Carers Ireland Richie Molloy says while welcome the funds just won’t go far enough.
