I have a few questions for the Minister of State. He said that just under €1 billion was collected in 2012. How is that distributed per county using the equalisation mechanism? Is there a way of estimating the distribution? Apart from the contribution towards repayment of the national debt, I ask the Minister of State to provide a breakdown on how the moneys are distributed. Ideally we would all prefer to see this money going to fund local government. How is this money distributed to local authorities?
