The Local Government Management Agency (LGMA ) is primarily funded through local authorities. It does not receive a standing Exchequer subvention towards its administrative costs. A detailed breakdown of the annual income and expenditure for the LGMA is contained in its Annual Report and Accounts for 2014, which is the most recently available – this can be viewed at the following link: http://www.lgma.ie/sites/default/files/lgma_annual_report_2014.pdf.

The number of persons employed in the agency at the end of June 2016 was 92.80 full time equivalents (FTE).
