I assume the question refers to general purpose grants from the Local Government Fund. General-Purpose Grants are the contribution that my Department makes to local authorities to meet the gap between the cost to them of providing a reasonable level of day-to-day services and the income they obtain from other sources. The Local Government Fund is also providing significant funding to local authorities for the improvement and maintenance of local and regional roads, and additional amounts are allocated for particular purposes including the operation of Water Services, and the administration of Group Water Schemes and the Vehicle Registration Unit. My Department also provides additional support for Local Authorities through specific grant programmes.
The information requested in respect of general purpose grant allocations is set out in the table following.
