Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government

I have no function in this matter. Local authorities are independent in the execution of their functions and the elected members are democratically accountable for expenditure. The information requested is therefore not available in my Department. Details in relation to local authority public liability insurance and claims thereon are a matter for each individual local authority.
