Amharc ar fhreagraThe Local Government Act 2001, as amended by the Local Government Reform Act 2014, provides the legislative basis for the local authority budget process. It is a matter for each local authority to determine its own spending priorities in the context of the annual budgetary process having regard to both locally identified needs and available resources.
The provision of detailed information on income and expenditure is a matter for each individual local authority. Local authority budget documents and other information on the cost of their services are generally available on local authority websites.
My Department compiles and publishes consolidated local authority annual data based on the statutory revenue budgets adopted by each local authority. Material in respect of previous years, up to 2018, is available at the following link;

Data in respect of local authority budgets for 2019 is being compiled and will be published in due course.
