Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 September 2018
245. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government if additional funding will be allocated to a local authority (details supplied) in respect of schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39239/18]
View answerMy Department has received a request from Cavan County Council for increased funding and it is currently being examined with a view to a decision being made shortly. My Department works closely with local authorities to achieve a full drawdown of their funding allocations and there is careful scrutiny of spend, with any underspend redistributed to those local authorities with high levels of grants activity who seek additional funding.
