Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2011
313 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the measures he intends to take to ensure that the accounts of CIÉ, Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Bus are more transparent in the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20593/11]
View answerThe legislation establishing CIÉ and its subsidiaries requires that their accounts be audited annually by an auditor or auditors appointed by their Boards with my consent. The report and accounts of State bodies must also comply with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies issued by the Department of Finance. If the Deputy has any suggestions regarding the form of the accounts of CIÉ, Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Bus I would be happy to receive them.
