Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government If he will urgently review a recent decision to cut Kerry County Council's allocation for housing aid for the elderly, mobility aids grant and grants for persons with a disability by a massive 56% on the 2012 allocation as this deficit will leave the council totally hindered in providing adequate housing supports to this sector of society and will deprive many of them of their rightful entitlements, especially with regard to their needs for adequate facilities; if he will clarify under the Equality Act if this is in compliance with the Ombudsman's recent statement and directive to the Government to address these issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
