That is the work that the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, is leading. It is essentially almost complete; we just have not finalised it. A commitment I gave previously - I am not giving a new commitment - is that no local authority would lose funding on foot of the review that we are doing. This is about allocating additional resources. I recognise from the engagements that I have had with different local authorities that some feel that the current model could be better designed to suit their particular needs as a local authority which are different from those of other local authorities depending on the type of local authority they are, who lives there, the population clusters, coastline areas, etc. All such matters are being accounted for in the review.

The second review needs to finish. When we have that, we will be able to make that public.
