I understand that the Question refers to the overall Development Contributions balance at 31 December 2008. The accounting code of practice requires local authorities to submit their Annual Financial Statements by 1 July. The information provided is for all city and county councils and is based on the un-audited Annual Financial Statements for 2008 as submitted to my Department or, where the Financial Statements have not yet been finalised, figures have been provided directly by the local authorities. Annual Financial Statements for 2008 are not yet available in respect of all town and borough councils, and my Department is working with local authorities to ensure that the relevant information will be available as soon as possible.
The overall Development Contributions balance at 31 December 2008 for county and city authorities, comprising both cash and debtors, is some €960 million. These funds are being released over time as projects progress to completion. The information requested is set out in the following table:
