Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications (Mr. S. Brennan)

The information requested by Deputy O'Keeffe is as follows:

	1990/91 Annual Report
State Body	Date received	Laid before Houses of Oireachtas	Date circulated to Members
Aer Lingus	2 August, 1991	8 August, 1991	Not applicable
Aer Rianta	8 April, 1991	30 April, 1991	Not applicable
Telecom Éireann	25 June, 1991	9 July, 1991	Not applicable
An Post	21 March, 1991	24 April, 1991	Not applicable
C.I.E.	10 October, 1991	—	Not applicable
Broadcasting Complaints Commission	9 May, 1991	—	Not applicable

The annual reports of CIE and the Broadcasting Complaints Commission are expected to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas in the near future.

The Comptroller and Auditor General is still examining the accounts for 1990 for Bord Fáilte and RTE and consequently their respective annual reports for 1990 cannot be finalised until the Comptroller and Auditor General has completed his examination.

The B&I Line plc and the Independent Radio and Television Commission are currently finalising their 1990 annual reports.
