Housing Adaption Grant for People with a Disability 2014-2020

A Housing Adaptation Grant is available where changes need to be made to a home to make it suitable for a person with a physical, sensory or intellectual disability or mental health difficulty to live in. There are three types of grant available; Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability, Mobility Aids Grant, and the Housing Aid for Older People Grant. They have been in operation since 2008.

In 2020 the majority of Local Authorities were unable to achieve full drawdown of their allocations due to the impact of COVID-19, with Government restrictions curtailing the activities of technical staff, Occupational Therapist resources and the availability of construction resources. This was closely monitored by the Department and underspends were redistributed to local authorities with capacity to process additional applications, resulting in 8,137 grants paid in 2020.


Notes:
These new schemes above replaced Disabled Persons and Essential Repairs Grants on 1 November 2007. 
The schemes are 80% funded by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, with a 20% contribution from the local authority. The data above details the Exchequer funding provided directly from the Department and the Local Property Tax allocation but does not include the 20% contribution provided by Local Authorities from their own funds. 
The most current data is published on these sheets. Previously published data may be subject to revision. Any change from the originally published data will be highlighted by a comment on the cell in question. These comments will be maintained for at least a year after the date of the value change.

Homelessness Report July 2019

Homelessness data

Official homelessness data is produced by local authorities through the Pathway Accommodation and Support System (PASS). PASS was rolled-out nationally during the course of 2013.

The Department’s official homelessness statistics are published on a monthly basis and refer to the number of homeless persons accommodated in emergency accommodation funded and overseen by housing authorities during a specific count week, typically the last full week of the month. The reports are produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), collated on a regional basis and compiled and published by the Department. Homelessness reporting commenced in this format in 2014. The format of the data may change or vary over time due to administrative and/or technology changes and improvements.

The administration of homeless services is organised across nine administrative regions, with one local authority in each of the regions, “the lead authority”, having overall responsibility for the disbursement of Exchequer funding. In each region a Joint Homelessness Consultative Forum exists which includes representation from the relevant State and non-governmental organisations involved in the delivery of homeless services in a particular region. Delegated arrangements are governed by an annually agreed protocol between the Department and the lead authority in each region. These protocols set out the arrangements, responsibilities and financial/performance data reporting requirements for the delegation of funding from the Department.

Under Sections 38 and 39 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 a statutory Management Group exists for each regional forum. This is comprised of representatives from the relevant housing authorities and the Health Service Executive, and it is the responsibility of the Management Group to consider issues around the need for homeless services and to plan for the implementation, funding and co-ordination of such services.

In relation to the terms used in the report for the accommodation types see explanation below:
PEA - Private Emergency Accommodation: this may include hotels, B&Bs and other residential facilities that are used on an emergency basis. Supports are provided to services users on a visiting supports basis.
STA - Supported Temporary Accommodation: accommodation, including family hubs, hostels, with onsite professional support.
TEA - Temporary Emergency Accommodation: emergency accommodation with no (or minimal) support

Land Commission Embankments

Abstract: This data shows Land Commision (LC) Embankments constructed by landowners typically in the 19th century, that individual land owners have a responsibility to maintain. These are man made raised structures of natural materials, constructed to protect low lying ground from flooding (not properties).Purpose: This data has been developed to identify the embankments that were created by landowners to reclaim land from rivers or the sea, typically in the 19th century. The Land Commission took over a number of embankments as part of it's work. The Minister and Land Commission were subsequently exempted from any responsibility for maintenance of land sold by the Land Commission under Section 10 of the Land Act, 1965, and this responsibility falls on the current landowners, in line with the provisions of the Land Acts. The purpose of the schemes was to create land for agriculture. In some cases embankments were created and the area behind was allowed to flood and flush out a number of times to reduce the salt content of the soil.

Detailed Shoreline Combined Wave Climate and Water Level Conditions (Wexford and Burrow CWWS 2020)

Abstract: This dataset shows the Detailed Shoreline Combined Wave Climate and Water Level Conditions for the Wexford and Burrow Coastal Areas Potentially Vulnerable to Wave Overtopping (CAPOs). Joint probability water level and wave climate condition tables have been produced for the present day scenario, Mid-Range Future Scenario (MRFS), High End Future Scenario (HEFS), High + End Future Scenario (H+EFS) and High++ End Future Scenario (H++EFS) which represent a 0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m and 2.0m increase in sea level respectively. For each AEP from 50% to 0.1%, six combinations of wave climate and water level conditions were produced representing the complete joint probability range.Purpose: The Wexford and Burrow Coastal Wave and Water Level Modelling Study (CWWS) 2020 provides an improvement and update to the wave climate and water level combinations of known Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) presented as output from Phase 2 of the Irish Coastal Wave and Water Level Modelling Study (ICWWS) 2018 for the Wexford and Burrow Coastal Areas Potentially Vulnerable to Wave Overtopping (CAPOs). The outputs from this study may inform the evaluation of the risk associated with wave overtopping, any resulting coastal flooding (both now and in the future) and the detailed design of measures to mitigate and manage any such identified coastal flood risk.

CE16007 Transatlantic Added Value Survey (Galway to Saint John's, Newfoundland)

This multidisciplinary 14 day transatlantic survey took place in Aptil 2017 on board the Marine Institute's R.V. Celtic Explorer. This research cruise is a survey that has been conducted annually since 2011 along a similar cruise track, with each year building on the body of work. The planned course intersects a persistent or persistently recurring eddy east of the Newfoundland Grand Banks at about 40W 48N. 

This was the final cruise of a series of collaborative endeavours between the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundlandand National Univeristy of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) and  completed a valuable dataset on warm core eddies. An eddy is a circular current of water that diverges from the general patterns of ocean flow. The circular motion of the eddy causes greater mixing of water in the eddy, which brings nutrients that would ordinarily be in deep waters up into shallower waters that light can reach.     It provided opportunities to map portions of the midAtlantic ridge, a major aspiration of the Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance. 

During the survey, the M6 Buoy was deployed, CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) sampling and plankton sampling was carried out, as well as trawling for cephalopod larvae/juveniles . Visual surveys for seabirds were also conducted.
