Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 February 2025
570. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the amount of funding allocated to Offaly County Council on an annual basis from 2020 to date, in tabular form. [2183/25]
View answerThe funding system for local authorities is a complex one, as authorities derive their income from a variety of sources including commercial rates, charges for goods and services, Local Property Tax, as well as funding from Government Departments and other bodies.
My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, covering a broad range of functions including local authority housing, voluntary housing, homeless services, estate regeneration, energy efficiency retrofitting, housing grants, rural water schemes, urban renewal/regeneration, fire services, and natural and built heritage, each of which includes a number of funding schemes.
The funding allocated by my Department to Offaly County Council, across all schemes and funding sources since 2020 to 2024, is provided in the table below.
