South Dublin County Council given least money: Labour

According to Labour Party leader, Pat Rabbitte, T.D., South Dublin County Council is allocated the least amount of money per head of population by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

According to the statement, issued on 2nd January by Mr. Rabbitte:

"Minister Roche recently announced the distribution of €868m from the Local Govt Fund to County Councils for 2007, but when you look at the spending per head of population South Dublin County Council comes bottom of the list.

"The average spend per head of population across the country is €205. However, the figure for South Dublin County Council, is just over half that at €106. Leitrim on the other hand, quite rightly, gets €536 per person.

"If any county is in need of greater investment, it is a county like South Dublin where growth rates have been so astronomical. Is it any wonder that there is such a scarcity of resources in areas like planning and enforcement; the provision of social and affordable housing; the provision of playgrounds; and the delivery of roads.

"I have long suspected South Dublin County Council has been getting the rough end the stick from Dick Roche’s Department. These figures are a clear indication that my suspicion was right. South Dublin County Council is simply not getting the money that it needs."

Figures released in the statement show the following allocations for 2007 [Click on image to enlarge]:
