Requests from local authorities in the current financial year to date for issues from the Local Loans Fund on foot of approved loans amount in the aggregate to £12.4 million.
Could the Minister state what moneys have been paid to date and, if available, could he also say how this compares with last year's figures?
Of the figure of £12.4 million, £11.73 million were paid in the period from 1st April to 2nd November and the amount paid in the corresponding period last year was £7.63 million.
Was the Deputy not bright to think of that?
