The administration of the Local Improvements Scheme (LIS) is a matter for the relevant county council, subject to the terms of the Local Improvements Scheme Memorandum and relevant Department circulars. Applications under the scheme are submitted to, and decided by, the relevant county council. My Department has no function in the matter. The allocation of funds under the scheme to individual county councils is decided annually in the context of the overall funds available and the number of LIS applications on hands in each County at the end of the previous year.

The allocation to each county council under the scheme in 2007 is outlined in the following table.
