Clerk to the Committee:
We are precluded from dealing with policy issues. It is for the Oireachtas to consider that matter. I do not think we should be taking on an advocacy role, but we can deal with the matter. There is a chapter in the annual report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the funding to local authorities. It is an avenue, but it is not adequate in the context of following the money.
