Exchequer allocations for 2012 totalling some €54.2 million were notified to local authorities in February 2012. Some €2,606,292 was allocated to Kerry County Council of which €1,716,017 has been drawn down to date in respect of 397 grants. My Department monitors expenditure under these schemes on an ongoing basis and any savings resulting from an under-spend by local authorities of their 2012 allocation may be re-allocated to authorities whose allocations have been fully spent.
