Vol. 559 No. 5

Written Answers. - Local Authority Funding.

Paul McGrath

Question:

383 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the allocations for 2003 from the local government fund to each local authority; if he will compare this allocation to that given to each of those authorities in each of the past five years; and the percentage increase in each case. [26760/02]

I assume that the question refers to the general purpose allocations from the local government fund. The following table sets out details of these allocations for the years 1998 to 2003:

Local Government Fund – General Purpose Allocations 1998-2003 (% increase over previous year)
