Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue said,” I welcome this capital allocation of €2,950,000 for private house grants for older people and people with disabilities in Kerry, announced by Michael Finneran TD Minister for Housing and Local Services. This funding will be administered by Kerry County Council and is a significant increase on last year’s allocation.
