Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 September 2018
227. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the amount paid out by each local authority with respect to compensation and insurance claims since 2017, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38066/18]
View answerThe information requested is not available in my Department. Local authorities are independent in the performance of their functions and the elected members are democratically accountable for all expenditure. Details of compensation amounts and insurance claims paid by local authorities are a matter for each local authority. Accordingly, I have no function in relation to the matters raised in the Question.
