Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Ceann Comhairle very much. My question is on the essential repair grant, the disabled persons grant and the mobility aids grant.

Pa Daly: I will speak about Tralee courthouse. We can take it as read that Tralee town centre is a priority, as are all town centres. I know that some of the Ministers and Ministers of State, including the Minister of State with special responsibility for heritage, are lovers of historic buildings. The courthouse in Tralee is a part of the folklore of the town but since 1989 the plans to refurbish...

Heather Humphreys: I thank the Deputy. I will raise this issue concerning the courthouse with the Minister for Justice. I spend a lot of money in my Department refurbishing empty courthouses and repurposing them for other uses, but I take the Deputy's point and I will raise it with the Minister for Justice. Regarding Deputy Healy-Rae's question, yes, he is correct. These grants have been at the same...

Heather Humphreys: I understand the point the Deputy is making. When people's houses are flooded, they want action immediately. I will raise this matter with the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, who has responsibility for the OPW. To be fair, there are a many reports and issues that have to be addressed as part of the process. This does take time. We often hear about a number of different schemes that...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I regret that I must again raise an issue I have raised many times on Questions on Policy or Legislation. I refer to the issue of Travellers on halting sites living in substandard trailers or caravans. There is a very limited pilot scheme called the caravan loan scheme whereby local authorities are given an allocation of caravans every year for replacement purposes. That scheme only...

Heather Humphreys: I do not have the relevant details here, so I will ask the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, to respond to the Deputy directly. I take the point that there is no point in buying second-hand trailers. New trailers are needed. I will raise the matter with the Minister and ask him to reply to the Deputy directly. As the Deputy stated, he has raised this matter on a number of occasions. It...

Fergus O'Dowd: If a person has a derelict house, he or she will get a grant of €70,000 to put it back into commission. If a person has a vacant home, he or she will get a grant of €50,000. For an elderly person or a person with a disability living in the home, the maximum grant is €30,000. That is an unacceptably low figure and has not been raised for some years, even though the...
