South Dublin County Council Crest

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 26, 2018

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"To ask the Chief Executive to make a report to this Committee regarding the waiting time involved for the installation of walk in showers and access ramps to homes of tenants who require such adaptation, based upon OT reports?"

REPLY:

"The waiting time for disability adaption works as outlined in the question depends on the high demand for such works, the number of ongoing jobs and the limited number of contractors available to carry out such works to the high standards expected by the Council.  In 2017, 273 DPG works were carried out in local authority properties, and it is anticipated that the same output will be reached in 2018."
