Mr. John McCarthy:
There would be a small gain. If we look at the decisions local authorities have made in terms of LPT for 2018, the overall allocations of LPT is €504 million. If we take out the baselines, which would have worked back to the general purpose grant, there is about €355 million. If self-funding is taken out, which local authorities are now required to do for certain programmes, there would be a net increase of about €40 million.
