I thank Mr. McCarthy for that. I have one question on the local property tax and I want to put a number of questions then about what I see as the disjointed funding of local government and the convoluted methodology, the impact it has on local government and indeed the development of cities and towns. I will get to that in a few minutes.
On the LPT, the equalisation process was put in place to support weaker local authorities. Can Mr. McCarthy tell me what local authorities were supported, how much they were supported by and if the equalisation process for those local authorities has worked?
