View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 263 to 265, inclusive, together.
I assume that the Question s refer to general purpose grants from the Local Government Fund. General purpose grants are my Department’s contribution towards meeting the cost to local authorities of providing a reasonable level of services to their customers. 2014 general purpose grant allocations will be announced in due course.
The estimated income to the Local Government Fund in 2013, as set out in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2013 published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, is €1,119 million. This includes estimated Motor Tax Receipts of €1,109 million, which contribute 99% of the fund’s income in 2013. The balance of the fund income is made up of interest earned from LGF monies invested with the National Treasury Management Agency and Household Charge receipts paid in 2013 in respect of 2012.
The following table details the general purpose grant allocations from the Local Government Fund to all local authorities for 2011, 2012 and 2013.
