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...

Heather Humphreys: Those grants are very useful to have houses adapted for people with disabilities who, perhaps, cannot use the upstairs of the house any longer. They are very popular grants. I am aware they are being looked at. I will raise the issue with the Minister of State, Deputy Alan Dillon, and ask him to come back to the Deputy directly with a response.

Claire Kerrane: The Family Resource Centres National Forum held its pre-budget briefing yesterday. I met with Louise from the Boyle Family Resource Centre at the briefing. From visiting the latter centre and the centres in Castlerea, Ballaghaderreen and Roscommon, I am aware that they provide so many supports and services that otherwise would not exist in those communities. These services include...

Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy for the question. I am a fantastic advocate for family resource centres as well. They do phenomenal work the length and breadth of the country. As far as I understand, their funding comes from the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman and his Department. I have been engaging with him because we are hoping to do some projects...
