Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Ms O'Donoghue seems to be indicating my figures are in the correct region. That was an extra €30 million coming into local authorities, which is good, but it is bonus money for them if they get it. Does the Department take into account how much each local authority collects on this?

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Is it kind of bonus income for the local authorities? If it comes, it comes. It is a windfall gain if they get it.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: It is still being collected at that rate.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Is Mr. McCarthy happy with it being dealt with in that way? Based on the €30 million last year, we are satisfied that there is money to be collected and is being collected. It is being handed in without anybody asking for it. Should someone in the Department not try to talk to the Revenue Commissioners and compare it with LPT and try to do some matching to see if it is possible to...
