Similar challenges were outlined for the housing aid grant.
Kildare's housing adaptation grants have come under criticism yet again.
Senator Mark Wall said it's a case of Deja Vu.
Citing a specific case in Newbridge, where a resident received a €30,000 grant but faced quotes exceeding €58,000, Senator Wall emphasised the urgent need for revising grant limits in Kildare.
Similar challenges were outlined for the housing aid grant, with quotes coming in at €12,000 to €14,000.
He said: "There is no way that she or her family can fund the balance, and that is the cheapest quote she has had, with many builders quoting €60,000 to €70,000, and €75,000 the highest quote that she has got. She and her family have looked everywhere to try to fund this life-changing grant application but, unfortunately, they have not been able to come up with the money. It is such vulnerable people that I am talking about today."
Responding to Senator Wall's criticism, Green Party TD Malcolm Noonan TD: "I appreciate the Senator's frustration. I know I have come back in here a few times with pretty much the same stock answer. He should rest assured we are working on it and we hope to have an outcome from that process very soon with a revised set of thresholds."
