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.

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
