Under Section 14 (1) of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1999, the Central Fisheries Board is obliged to submit draft annual accounts to the Comptroller & Auditor General (C&AG) no later than three months after the end of each accounting period year.

As soon as may be but not later than one month after an audit by the C&AG, the Board is then obliged to submit to the Department a copy of its annual accounts, together with the C&AG's report.

Upon receipt of the audited 2008 accounts and report of the C&AG, which is not yet available, and after approval by Government, I will lay copies of both the accounts and the report before each House of the Oireachtas in accordance with Section 14 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1999.
