Local Authorities
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-21
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

It is important that we consider those issues.
We should be giving consideration to participatory budgeting where members of the public have a say in how their LPT revenue is spent. All those elements are critical in taking ownership of the revenue that is raised by local government and giving people a say in how it is spent in their own communities. My own local authority issues a newsletter to every household to inform members of the public how their money is being spent, and the projects and other important work it is doing in communities. I will take back the Deputy's comments to the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke.
