Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

One of the reasons the chapter on the central Government funding of local authorities was produced was to bring to the fore the figure that was going to local authorities. If my office or the Department can continue to aggregate the separate streams of funding and publish it as an information or memorandum account it would be useful. It would help decision makers to see how much money is being provided to local authorities. That is a legitimate concern.
