Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services
Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, and Department of Finance
Ms Maria Graham:
Motor tax is one of the main revenue sources for the local government fund and the general purpose grant always came from that source and covered domestic water services in local authorities. That was reduced to reflect the fact it was now going to Irish Water.
