1495 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will provide extra funding on an annual basis to local authorities to enable them to pay their staff salary and wage increases arising from national agreements which were negotiated by the Government and the social partners and then handed down by Government to the local authorities for implementation. [16093/02]
Expenditure arising as a result of increased staffing costs is a matter for local authorities in the context of the determination of their annual estimates. Such expenditure is funded from a variety of sources, including the local government fund, other State grants, rates, fees and charges. As part of the reform of local government, the allocations to local authorities from the local government fund to support their day-to-day activities have greatly increased. In 2002, allocations of €593 million in general purpose grants have been made by my Department to local authorities, an increase of almost 74% on the initial 1997 allocation.
