My Department is responsible for the allocation and payment of a range of grants to local authorities and other bodies in respect of housing, water services, environmental protection, waste management, fire services, libraries, disability services, heritage and other areas. The annual Revised Estimates for Public Services volume, published by the Department of Finance, sets out the financial provisions for the year concerned, together with outturns for the preceding year. Compilation of the information requested on all bodies or persons in receipt of such funding would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work by my Department. It is open to the Deputy to put down a specific question regarding a particular area within my Department's remit.
