View answerA sum of up to €150m will be transferred from the Local Government Fund to the Exchequer in late 2013 as a necessary measure towards the reduction of the national deficit. In determining the amount to be transferred, account will be taken of the balance then in the Fund and of any funding commitments that have been made to local authorities.
