I assume that the question refers to the 2004 general purpose grants from the local government fund notified to Tralee Town Council.

Tralee Town Council has been allocated €2.9 million in general purpose grants towards their day-to-day expenses in 2004. This represents an increase of 11.7% over the 2003 baseline allocation and is about four times the expected rate of inflation for the year. The increase of over €300,000 that Tralee Town Council has been allocated over its 2003 baseline is in fact the third largest increase in monetary terms of any town council.
