Monica Barnes

Question:

56 Mrs. Barnes asked the Minister for Energy if he will outline the subsidiary companies which are operated by Bord na Móna; and if he has satisfied himself with procedures for publishing their accounts.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 24, 31 and 56 together.

I would refer the Deputies to the annual reports and accounts of Bord Gáis Éireann, the ESB and Bord na Móna which are laid before the Oireachtas each year and in which the subsidiary companies are listed in each case.

The procedures for publishing the accounts of these companies are governed by the companies and other relevant legislation where appropriate. Deputies will appreciate that I have no functions in that regard.
However, the accountability of these bodies is under review in my Department at present and, with the approval of the Government, it is my intention to include provisions in this regard in legislation which I propose to bring before the House later this year.
