Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 279 to 281, inclusive, together.
My Department has a broad business agenda, including supporting citizens in safe and sustainable communities through the provision of access to good quality housing, fostering community development in partnership with local government, supporting and enabling responsive local government and protecting and improving water resources. In order to deliver on this agenda, my Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies and non-statutory bodies.
Across all schemes and funding sources the funding my Department provided to Meath County Council in 2014, 2015 and to the end of October 2016 is set out in the table.

The figures include my Departmental Vote as it is currently configured, the Local Government Fund and the Environment Fund to September 2016, before responsibility for that fund transferred to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
If the Deputy wishes to put down a more specific question concerning funding for a specific purpose or project from my Department, including funding which may not be drawn down until 2017, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
