Local Authority Funding
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-23
============================================================

Johnny Guirke (SF), Meath West

I congratulate the Minister and the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, on their appointments and I wish them the best of luck.
Why is Meath County Council historically the lowest funded local authority per head of population in the country? Will the Minister bring local government funding for the County of Meath up to the national average?
