The Minister in his correspondence to Minister Smith stated that this major allocation will meet two-thirds of the expenditure to be incurred by the Council in payment of these grants.
The Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil T.D. stated that these schemes are particularly important for the elderly people and he welcomed this substantial funding which will allow a major programme of work to be undertaken this year.
