Mr. Graham Doyle:
A review of the Local Government Fund is carried out every five years. The most recent changes took place in 2024. A variety of stakeholders are involved in that review in each case, from the local authorities themselves to councillors, NOAC and others, as far as I am aware. That is an opportunity to look at how the system operates. Some changes were brought forward the last time around. They were brought to the Minister and approved. That review is the opportunity to look at those issues.
