The elected members of local authorities are responsible for budgetary matters and the adoption of the annual budget is a reserved function. In this context, it is a matter for each local authority to determine spending priorities, having regard to available resources.

The use of funds in the manner outlined by the Deputy is, therefore, a matter for the local authority concerned.
