Researchers at the Whitaker Institute in NUI Galway have found that Donegal County Council has been underfunded, and would be receive more under a new Revenue Equalisation Model they are proposing.
An analysis of 2017 figures shows Donegal County Council to have the fifth highest deficit in the country.
Of the 31 local authorities, 20 are already in receipt of such payments, totalling €133.5 million for the year 2021. The local authorities that currently receive the biggest grants in euro terms are Tipperary, Donegal, and Mayo County Councils, and Waterford City and County Council.
In their report, the research team say in other local government systems internationally, the equalisation transfers are based on a well-designed formula, objective and quantifiable data and estimates of fiscal capacity.
