I thank the officials for coming in this morning. I will cover a range of topics because they did likewise in their opening statement. I want to jump in. I might jump around so bear with me.
Why are different county councils funded so differently? I see the expenditure per head. My own county of Kildare receives the lowest level of funding per head of population. Why is that the case when other county councils and other areas are funded so significantly differently?
