I propose to take Questions Nos. 204 and 224 together.
In response to the Deputy’s questions the details of bodies of other than statutory bodies that were fully or partially funded by my Department in 2012 are as follows:
The Credit Union Restructuring Board operated on an administrative basis under the Department of Finance in 2012 pending its establishment as a statutory body on 1 January 2013. My Department also covers travel and other expenses of the Credit Union Advisory Committee, (CUAC).
The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC) was fully funded from the Vote of the Minister for Finance in 2012 receiving funding of €408,920. IFAC was made a statutory body on 31 December 2012.
