asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give details of percentage increases or decreases in the 1984 financial allocation to Galway County Council and Galway Corporation under each heading in comparison with 1983 allocations.
The 1984 allocations in respect of sanitary services and environment works schemes have not yet been made. It would not be appropriate to give percentage increases/decreases for local authority housing and house purchase and improvement loans since the present 1984 allocations are subject to review to take account, inter alia, of further allocations for these services from the overall funds provided in the Public Capital Programme.
