The Courts Services around the country used to be under the remit local authorities for historical reasons. That changed.
There are several areas where funds have not been fully drawn down. They include areas where we know resources are needed. I refer for example to a certain item funded by the Dormant Accounts Fund. Some €7 million was available and the expenditure was €5.1 million. The difference amounts to quite a lot of money.
