Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 February 2014
171. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his views on the amount of revenue raised from water charges in 2013 that has been invested into local government; if he will outline the money what this money has been spent on by local government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7284/14]
View answerThe levying and collection of local charges, including water charges in 2013, are matters for each individual local authority. Water income data are published by local authorities in their Annual Financial Statements. 2011 is the latest year for which fully audited local authority Annual Financial Statement data are available. The Local Government Audit Service is currently at an advanced stage in undertaking the audit of the 2012 Annual Financial Statements, which should be completed shortly.
