Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will outline the funding provided to an organisation (details supplied) by his Department for each of the past five years, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 323 and 324 together.
Under the Local Government Act 2001, as amended, local authorities may make annual contributions to the funds of the Local Authority Members' Association. Such contributions are a matter for each local authority. My Department does not set the amounts of those contributions, and does not hold the information sought. In addition, my Department does not provide funding to the Local Authority Members' Association.
