I return to my opening question. The Department should be advising the Minister how much additional revenue it feels needs to be raised from LPT. Even though the Department of Finance is carrying out this review, Mr. McCarthy knows intricately how large these councils' deficits are and how much additional resources he feels could be obtained from LPT. As future growth patterns will primarily be in the eastern region, the deficiencies that exist in counties such as Leitrim will still exist. I go back to my opening question. How much additional revenue does the Department believe the LPT could and should bring in?
