Written Answers. - State Bodies Annual Reports.
The position in regard to bodies which submitted their 1987 annual reports and accounts to my Department is as follows:
Body |
Date Annual Report and Accounts Received |
Agency for Personal Service Overseas |
11 July 1988* |
Gorta |
23 July 1988 |
Refugee Resettlement Committee |
22 July 1988 |
Policy Advisory Committee (Refugees) |
22 July 1988 |
Scholarship Exchange Board |
2 June 1988 and laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 24 June 1988 |
*Accounts not included in annual report.
Apart from the Scholarship Exchange Board none of the other bodies are statutory bodies and there is no requirement on them to either lay their annual reports and accounts before the Houses of the Oireachtas or to have them circulated to Members. The Agency for Personal Service Overseas (APSO) has, however, circulated Members with its 1987 annual report and accounts of 5 December 1988.
