Minister Browne Announces €5.57 Million to Support Home Adaptations for Older People and Those with Disabilities in Wexford

Wexford Minister for Housing, James Browne, has announced over €5.57 million in funding for Housing Adaptation Grants to support older people and those with disabilities in the county.

The grants, which range from €8,000 for mobility aids to €40,000 for home adaptations, aim to help people live independently in their own homes.

Minister Browne highlighted the importance of these grants for dignity and independent living, adding that they also create local employment opportunities.

He praised the role of Wexford County Council in administering the grants, helping people stay in their communities.

This year’s national funding allocation is part of a €152 million plan for 2026 to assist some 17,000 people nationwide.
