Over €6 million in funding has been announced to improve homes for older and disabled people across the Shannonside region.
It's 30 per cent increase since last year.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne, announced the allocation this morning.
This year's funding will deliver 17,000 grant claims for older and disabled people to help them live independently in their own homes and to carry out necessary repairs, improvements, and fund mobility aids.
The grants are funded by contributions from local authorities and allocations from the Exchequer.
Co Roscommon received the most funding in the region at €2.6 million, followed by Co Longford, which has been allocated a total of €2.1 million.
Co Leitrim received the least in the Shannonside region, at €1.7 million.
The allocated funding for the region comes at an increase of €1 million since last year, out of a total of €152 million on offer nationwide for 2026.
