I propose to take Questions Nos. 509 and 512 together.
I assume that Question No. 509 refers to general purpose grants from the Local Government Fund. General purpose grants are my Department’s contribution towards meeting the cost to local authorities of providing a reasonable level of services to their customers.
€640,903,434 was paid to local authorities from the Local Government Fund in general purpose grants in 2013 . The table below de tails the general purpose grant payments from the Local Government Fund to all local authorities in 2013.
