€4,435,373 to adapt houses for older and people with disabilities in Donegal

Older people and people with disabilities in Donegal will be empowered to stay in their homes independently for longer with funding of €4,435,373 announced.

This funding, confirmed by Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and Disabled People, will help empower Donegal County Council to further assist older and disabled individuals in living independently within their own homes. It will ensure 13,000 older people and disabled people to live independently in their own homes across Ireland, many of them in Donegal.

Fine Gael Senator Nikki Bradley says the funding highlights the government’s commitment to supporting older people and those with disabilities to remain in their homes.

“It's fantastic to see a 26% increase in this grant for 2025, showing the government's continued commitment to supporting older people and those with disabilities,” she said. “This funding will help empower Donegal County Council to further assist older and disabled individuals in living independently within their own homes.

“I’ve met many grant recipients across Donegal and I've witnessed first-hand the huge difference it has made in empowering older and disabled people to live independently at home in their own communities for longer.

“Fine Gael will always fight for people with disabilities and older people, particularly when it comes to housing. Our party is committed to supporting people who need it most, and this funding of €4,435,373 is a key example of this.”
