Question:328 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the details of the amount allocated to each local authority for the compilation of the register of electors; and if he is satisfied that the money was well spent. [20798/04]
View answerMy Department does not make separate allocations to local authorities in respect of the preparation of the register of electors. However, some €752 million has been allocated to local authorities from the local government fund for general purpose grants for 2004. This amount represents an increase of 14% on the corresponding figure for 2003. General purpose grants are a contribution towards the day-to-day costs of running local authority services, including compilation of the register of electors. I am satisfied that the 2004 general purpose grants allocated from the local government fund represent an appropriate contribution to the ongoing and special costs of local authorities in the present year.
