96.
(a) The contributing rating authorities in the case of the Dublin Health Authority are Dublin Corporation, Dublin County Council and Dún Laoghaire Corporation.
(b) The rating authorities in the functional area of the proposed Eastern Health Board are the above and the Kildare and Wicklow County Councils.
(c) I cannot say: this, as indicated by my reply of 11th June, 1970, will depend on the terms of the agreement or determination on the proportions in which liability to pay contributions will be divided between rating authorities. The Dublin rating authorities will not, however, be in a position to require that any facilities provided by spending the sum in question will be reserved to Dublin residents.
