I intend to notify local authorities of their 2006 general purpose allocations from the local government fund shortly. In determining these allocations I will have regard to the overall amount available to me for this purpose and the funding needs of all authorities, including Carlow County Council, taking account of the expenditure demands and local income sources of all authorities.
