I propose to take Questions Nos. 607 and 608 together.
On 29 July last, following the enactment of the Disability Act 2005, I allocated €5 million current expenditure and €10 million capital expenditure to local authorities and to An Chomhairle Leabharlanna to commence the provision of services under the national disability strategy allocation to my Department. The different types of expenditure which will be funded from the allocations are set out in the reply to Question No. 679 of 15 November 2005. The individual allocations are set out in the following table.
The procurement of services including staff disability awareness training and the execution of capital works are matters for the authorities concerned. Details of actual expenditure in the year to date and for the year as a whole will not be known until the various applications for funding are made and received in the Department over the coming weeks.
