Vol. 393 No. 4

Written Answers. - Rate Support Grants.

125.

asked the Minister for the Environment the total sum of money notified as being allocated by his Department in respect of rate support grant to each local authority for (a) 1989 and (b) 1990; and whether any local authority has received an allocation for 1990 which is for a sum in excess of 4.5 per cent of the rate support grant allocated for 1989.

142.

asked the Minister for the Environment the amount of rate support grant allocated to each of the 27 county councils in Ireland for 1990; and the percentage increase for each county council over their 1989 rate support grant.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 125 and 142 together.

Straight comparisons of rate support grant allocations from one year to another are not valid because of adjustments made in respect of, for example, the Local Loans Fund (Amendment) Act, 1987, removal of local authorities financial responsibility for supplementary welfare allowances, ACOT, OPW arterial drainage maintenance etc., ESB rates and, for 1990, the effect of the 1988 Tenant Purchase Scheme. Up to date information on the rate support grant allocation for 1990 is set out in a tabular statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report. Details of the allocations for 1989 are contained in Question No. 201 of 14 November 1989.
