Written answers

The Local Government Fund (LGF) accounts for 2016 are currently being audited. Accordingly, the estimated income and expenditure from the LGF for 2016 and 2017 is set out in Tables 1 and 2 respectively. The payments to each local authority in 2016 are detailed in Table 3; these figures are subject to audit. When finalised, the audited accounts of the LGF for 2016 will be available on my Department’s website at the following link:

http://www.housing.gov.ie/search/archived/archived/archived/current/type/publications?query=Local%20Government%20Fund%20Accounts.

A part from LPT allocations, precise allocations to local authorities from the LGF for 2017 have yet to be determined. Local Property Tax allocations for 2017 are available on my Department’s website at the following link:
