Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Barry Cowen: I refer to the funding provided by the Department to local authorities for older person's grants and disabled person's grants. Much of that funding is dependent on the monetary input of the local authorities in the context of the amount allocated overall. Local authorities have a diminishing ability to put funds towards these grants and they are being penalised as a result in the allocation...

In the context of the CAP, there was a hope or an expectation that there would be some funding that could be allocated to those...

- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (22 Jan 2014)
Barry Cowen: I thank the Minister for the insertion of this amendment. Is the method of consultation at the discretion of the local authority council? For example, should it be an agenda item on a meeting of the municipal authority for ultimate forwarding to a local authority? This would record consensus or otherwise being sought rather than a case, as outlined by Deputy Catherine Murphy, where it is...

- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (22 Jan 2014)
