Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
2191. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the totality of grant-aid and or subsidy provided to each local authority in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022 (details supplied). [42834/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department operates an extensive range of programmes which involve the provision of grant funding to local authorities for delivery of projects and schemes at local level. Grant funding is also provided to support specific policies at local level, such as public participation networks and volunteering.
The local authorities are key to delivery of many policy and programme areas within the Department. As such, grant payments are made under schemes including the Walks Scheme, the Local Improvement Scheme, CLÁR, Town and Village Renewal, the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme, the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, the LEADER Programme, the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme, Libraries Development and the Community Enhancement Programme. Supports are also provided for areas such as Volunteering, Public Participation Networks and Local Community Development Committees. All funding provided to local authorities for the period in question has been in the form of grant funding. It should be noted that in some instances, such as the Community Enhancement Programme, the funding made available to local authorities is subsequently further disbursed by each authority.
The following table provides the total grant funding provided to each local authority by the Department of Rural and Community Development for the period 2019-2021 and for 2022 to date. It should be noted that the Department provides information on funding to local authorities to the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General on an annual basis to contribute to the report on Central Government funding of Local Authorities.
