Vol. 575 No. 4

Written Answers. - Local Authority Funding.

Seán Ryan

Ceist:

55 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government the number of applications he had received from consultants under the promised independent review of local government funding by the closing date of 7 November 2003; when it is expected that the review will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28454/03]

Following an open competitive process, seven applications to undertake the independent review of local government funding were received by my Department, and work has commenced on examining the tenders. I hope to be able to appoint a consultant team before the end of the year, and I anticipate that the review will take about a year to complete.
