Equalisation funding is provided to local authorities in advance of their budgets, which should provide the clarity people need. Deputy McAuliffe is correct about Dublin City Council. It is the largest local authority and many of the services the State provides for people across the State are centred in Dublin, or there are more of them located in Dublin city. If we can provide any further clarity to the Deputy, we will do so.
