Chapter 4: Accountability of the Central Funding of Local Authorities. (26 Oct 2023) Catherine Murphy: I must stop Ms Quinn again.

I want to go back to the local government issue because it drives me nuts. A total of 35% of the population increase between 2016 and 2022 happened in five local authority areas.
