All Motor Tax income accrues to the Local Government Fund. Since 2014 the Minister for Finance also pays an amount equivalent to that collected in Local Property Tax in the particular year to the Local Government Fund. All LPT proceeds are ultimately redistributed to the 31 local authorities. Audited accounts for the Local Government Fund are available on my Department’s website at the following link;
http://www.environ.ie/search/archived/archived/archived/current/type/publications?query=Local%20Government%20Fund%20Accounts. The accounts for 2015 are under preparation.
The local government funding model changed considerably in 2014 due to the establishment of Irish Water and the introduction of Local Property Tax. Following the establishment of Irish Water, the water-related element of general purpose grants which previously went to local authorities was removed. As the 2014 figures (in the Table below) reflect the removal of water related costs from local authorities, they are not directly comparable to previous years’ funding figures. Irish Water received a subvention from the Local Government Fund of €439,112,119 and €399,000,000 in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Total payments by my Department to local authorities from the Local Government Fund in the years 2011-2015, and to date in 2016, are set out in the following table. Further payments would have been made to local authorities in respect of roads and public transport through a transfer from the Local Government Fund to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Details of the allocations to individual local authorities for such purposes are available from that Department.
