2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government
9:00 am
Mr. John McCarthy:
There are various other miscellaneous items. The fourth line sets out the payment to the Exchequer. We have been looking at this issue. As the Deputy has said, the local government fund was a creature of a particular point in time. I think there is a valid case for looking at where various budget lines and income sources are assigned. We are engaged with colleagues in the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform and Finance on that.
