Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 March 2021
468. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of allotments provided under the Local Government Act 2001 in each of the years 2018 to 2020, by local authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16522/21]
View answerMy Department does not record the number of allotments provided under the Local Government Act 2001, and I have no function in terms of directing local authorities regarding the operation or provision of local authority allotments.
Local authorities are entirely independent corporate entities having full responsibility under law for the performance of their functions. Allotments are an operational issue for individual local authorities and the number of allotments provided in a given year is a matter each individual local authority.
