Written Answers. - Galway Local Authorities Funding.

Máire Geoghegan-Quinn

Question:

188 Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn asked the Minister for the Environment the total amount of funding provided to Galway Corporation and Galway County Council in respect of housing, roads, sewerage schemes and water schemes in each of the years from 1987 to 1996. [18294/96]

Details of all road grants payments made to Galway Corporation and Galway County Council for the years 1987 to 1995 are contained in the booklet State Grant Payments to Local Authorities on National, Non-National and Non-Public Accommodation Roads and own resources expenditure by Local Authorities on National and Non-National roads in the period 1986-1995, which is available in the Oireachtas Library. Details of the 1996 allocation to each local authority for non-national roads are contained in the booklet Non-National Road Grant Allocations, 1996 which is also in the Oireachtas Library. Since 1 January 1994 responsibility for the allocation and payment of grants to local authorities in respect of national roads has rested with the National Roads Authority and is no longer a matter for my Department.

The information requested in respect of housing and water and sewerage schemes is set out in the following table.
