I assume the question is referring to the €935.2m in General-Purpose Grants from the Local Government Fund for 2009 which I allocated in October 2008. In general, payment of the allocated grants will be made to local authorities in quarterly tranches during 2009. Payment of the first 25% of the allocation was made to local authorities on 22 January 2009.
