A councillor has described delays in processing and inspections as "severe"
Kildare County Council says it does" not consider it necessary to make any change to the current arrangements" to key steps in certain grant approvals.
It was to consider outsourcing the inspections element in applications for 2 kinds of Housing Adaptation Grant, to speed up approval.
Both schemes are designed to help people to modify their homes in accordance with their needs.
KCC says inspections on private homes are arranged by the householder
It acknowledges that works under the grant were curtailed due to COVID-19, but are now being progressed.
Fine Gael Cllr., Tim Durkan, raised the matter at the October meeting, and suggested financial contributions by each district to fund clearing the backlog.
Cllr. Durkan joined Ciara Noble on Tuesday's edition of the programme, where they discussed all of his motions before the October meeting of the Clane Maynooth MD
