In order to determine the capital allocations for 2012, my Department requested local authorities to submit details of their funding requirements under the grant schemes by 20 January, 2012. The information received is being examined at present with a view to announcing the allocations as soon as possible. It is not envisaged that there will be any change to the 80% recoupment rate which currently applies, and local authorities are asked to make provision for their 20% own resources share of expenditure in 2012.
