It has already been allocated to local authorities. In fact, the Minister and the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government are meeting with the chief executives of all of the local authorities tomorrow to hear their responses in terms of the targets that have been set, the objectives laid out, the money awarded to them and how they are getting on with the job.
