Clare FM

Clare has been awarded over €3 million in funding for housing adaptation grants. Just under €2.7 million of this has been provided to this county through exchequer funding while a further 476,000 is estimated to be contributed by the local authority. It forms part of a national total of €117 million, with an increase of €10,000 in the maximum grant available under the Housing Adaption Grant for Disabled People also announced. Ennistymon-based disability rights activist, Ann Marie Flanagan, says the funding is welcome but is hopeful in time the full cost of works will be covered under the grant.
