Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
667. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the amount paid out by each local authority in respect of personal injury claims for each of the years 2010 to 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3384/18]
View answerI have no function in relation to the matters raised in the question and the information requested is not available in my Department.
Local authorities are independent in the execution of their powers and the directly elected members are democratically accountable for all expenditure of the authority. Personal injury claims involving local authorities are matters for each authority and details in that regard may be obtained directly from individual authorities.
