View answerMy Department provides an annual operational grant to Local Authorities to cover 70% of the running costs of Civil Defence and while Local Authorities are required to provide the remaining 30% each year, many contribute significantly more than that. Other grants are also issued to the local authorities from time to time, on application, towards the purchase of vehicles and equipment and other miscellaneous costs incurred by Civil Defence Units.
Since 2019, my Department has received funding from the Dormant Accounts Fund to go towards the upgrading of the Civil Defence fleet of vehicles. This funding has been distributed to Local Authority Civil Defence Units through a grant scheme and goes mainly towards the replacement of older vehicles. In 2022, €0.5 million has been allocated from the Dormant Accounts Fund in 2022 to continue upgrading the fleet.
The details of the annual operational grants and other grants for Civil Defence, including Dormant Accounts funding paid to individual Local Authorities from 2019 to 22 August, 2022 are outlined in the tables below:
