Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

To correct the record, Mr. Maloney mentioned that there was not any Exchequer funding for the authority. In Appendix B, on page 61, we draw attention to the fact that €31 million in Exchequer funding was provided to the authority around 2000 to support a programme of capital investments in public amenity projects as part of the implementation of the authority's master plan. The funding was drawn down between 2001 and 2007. Between 2007 and 2009, the authority also received €5.5 million in respect of site subsidy payments to Dublin City Council in respect of affordable housing.
