Mr. Fergal Conroy:

It basically depends on the numbers of people in the counties, the activities of the council and the requirements from the local authority within the council. It is unique. In general, across the board in the Department they are very fair. While you might not get everything this year, you may get a bigger slice of the pie next year, depending on whether your request is for a vehicle or specific equipment. Across the board, I think we are all fairly well looked after. Obviously, we would love more. Who would not, in any budgeting system? I think we get a fair share across the board in general.
