Mr. Damien Geoghegan:

Senator Denis Landy made an important point about retaining moneys in the towns in which the levies were raised. That certainly has presented an even greater challenge since the abolition of town councils. We had a system in place under which money could be retained at local level, but town boundaries no longer apply. It is a question of councillors within districts deciding, in a fair way, how the moneys raised should be allocated. We had a good system in place previously.
