David Cullinane: Where does the funding for roads come from? Who is the Accounting Officer for the funding of roads? Is it Mr. Doyle?

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: We have the local authorities, the Secretary General of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and TII involved here. We have a lot of different bodies dealing with the issue of roads. Why did we allow ourselves to get to a position where the funding was so low that we now have a major problem with roads? We are now getting to a point where it is going to cost us more in the long...

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: I would suggest to the Cathaoirleach that it should also be one of the issues that we highlight for our periodic report. I do not think that the increase in funding will meet the backlog of work that needs to be done, not to mention the ongoing needs. Roads must be maintained on a daily, weekly and yearly basis and we obviously have a big challenge in that regard. I accept what the...

David Cullinane: Would it be fair to say general purpose funding basically funds the nuts and bolts of local government operation?

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: Would it be right to say Mr. McCarthy, I do not want to be unfair to the Accounting Officers or Government, that the general purpose fund was cut. It was replaced with funding from the LPT. Is there still a significant shortfall? Is there still a significant gap between what was there in the past and what is there now, given the replacement that took place?

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: I thank Mr. McCarthy for that. I have one question on the local property tax and I want to put a number of questions then about what I see as the disjointed funding of local government and the convoluted methodology, the impact it has on local government and indeed the development of cities and towns. I will get to that in a few minutes. On the LPT, the equalisation process was put in...

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: I have one more question. It might be helpful to move this issue on if Mr. McCarthy could write a note for the committee. I ask specifically when the equalisation process came in, where the funding went to and what counties benefited. I would also like a breakdown of the per capitaspend for each of those local authorities. That is where we will see whether those local authorities are...

David Cullinane: Had the witness any correspondence from or discussions with the chief executive officer of Waterford City and County Council in respect of frustrations the Council had with the funding? Has Mr. Doyle had any interaction with the council?

(8 Mar 2018)

David Cullinane: Would it be fair to say that if it had stuck to the very convoluted process that was in place we would not have the fantastic greenway we now have? It is only because the CEO of the local authority took a risk rather than stick to the process as outlined by the Department that the job was finished and we have the greenway.
