Mr. Durkan
asked the
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government
if he or his Department directly or indirectly fund various local authorities throughout the country; the extent to which funding has been affected by funds accruing to such local authorities from parking fees, levies, fines or other such charges; if the fees are a substitute for funding from his Department or vice versa; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
[21880/06]
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche):
My Department provides capital and current funding for local authorities for a wide range of schemes and programmes. The funding amounted to some €2.9 billion in 2005. Generally, this funding is independent of local authority fees and charges and such income is not a substitute for funding from my Department.
