Vol. 554 No. 5

Written Answers. - Local Authority Members.

Paul McGrath

Ceist:

1575 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if the local authorities have been informed by his Department that salaries paid to councillors cannot be paid from the subvention granted annually to local authorities by his Department; the estimated cost of these salaries per local authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16964/02]

Provision for representational payments to councillors is a proper change on local authority annual estimates. No notification to any other effect has been made by my Department to local authorities. The annual costs of representational payments to councillors as estimated by my Department earlier this year, are set out in the following table:
