The table below sets out payments recorded on my Department's Financial Management System as having been made to Mayo County Council in each of the years from 2017 to 2021. It should be noted that the payments made to the Council in that period were to meet costs incurred by my Department that arose in the normal course of business and included the cost of property rental, parking, fees relating to construction projects and student support payments.  As these payments were in relation to costs incurred, the issue of recouping unspent allocations does not arise.
