I refer to the reply to Question No. 513 of 2 October 2007. As indicated previously, while no formal study has been carried out, the views of local authorities, including authorities with rapidly expanding populations, have been taken into account in the context of the consultation between my Department and the Department of Finance. My Department continues to maintain appropriate contact with the Department of Finance in this regard.
