767 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will provide a breakdown of the allocation of Exchequer funds to each local authority for 2011; the percentage reduction in each case compared to 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48424/10]

General purpose grants from the Local Government Fund are my contribution to meeting the difference between the cost to local authorities of providing a reasonable level of day to day services and the income available to them from local sources and from specific grants. The 2011 general purpose grant allocations in respect of each local authority are set out in the table below.

2011 Exchequer grants in respect of specific functional areas will be notified to local authorities in due course.
