Some €550 million from the local property tax receipts will go into the Local Government Fund. Some €600 million from motor tax receipts will be used for deficit reduction. We know why we need to do that. Members will be very surprised when the figures are published in the next week or so. The local authority budgets for 2014 will not be in any way worse than in 2013, which is what is being suggested.
