Written answers

I assume that the Question refers to general purpose grants (GPG) from the Local Government Fund. GPGs were my Department’s contribution towards meeting the cost to local authorities of providing a reasonable level of services to their customers. GPGs were replaced by Local Property Tax allocations in 2015. The tables below detail the general purpose grant allocations from the Local Government Fund to all local authorities in 2014 (the allocations to County Councils are “county at large” allocations in respect of the County Council and any Town Councils within the county).
