Would Ms Walshe accept that, for an onlooker, it seems impossible that it can be done in an Exchequer-neutral manner? We are saying to local authorities that they can retain 100% of what is collected. As a result of the latter, other local authorities will not be able to benefit from redistribution and will require additional funding for the promise to be true. Is Ms Walshe suggesting that it will come from within the existing budget of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage?
