I wish to advise the Deputy that since the establishment of my Department in June 2007, it has not allocated any money to Ballina, Castlebar or Westport Town Council. In relation to payments made by the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department, this is an operational matter for the individual agency in the first instance and I have no function in this regard. I am asking the Agencies concerned to respond directly to the Deputy.
