The Local Government Fund accounts are audited on an annual basis by the Comptroller and Auditor General. Full details of all income to the Local Government Fund are available from the audited accounts of the Fund, published on my Department’s website, . The most recent audited accounts of the Fund are for the year 2012. The estimated income to the Local Government Fund in 2013 and 2014 is published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in the Revised Estimates Volume for Public Services 2014.

No allocations were made from my Department’s Vote to the Local Government Fund in either 2012 or 2013 and there is no indication at this time that an allocation will be made in 2014. I propose to circulate with the Official Report a tabular statement setting out the information requested for 2010 and 2011.
