Minister Norma Foley has welcomed the news saying; “This funding will have a huge impact on the quality of life of the many beneficiaries and will enhance the lives of older people and those with disabilities throughout County Kerry.”
“Home adaptations are vital to ensure that people who are reaching an age in life when they are less mobile have the option to continue to live independently in their own homes.”
