465. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 169 of 2 May 2013, if he will confirm the latest annual report and accounts laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas for the Irish Film Classification Office and if he has any concerns regarding late reporting by the organisation. [22375/13]
View answerThe 2009 Annual Report which was the most recent Annual Report of the Irish Film Classification Office was laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 18 February 2011.
I am advised by the Irish Film Classification Office that Annual Reports in respect of 2010, 2011 and 2012 will be submitted to my Department by end May 2013. The delay in respect of the Annual Reports for 2010 and 2011 was due to an oversight by that Office and is regretted. I am assured by the Irish Film Classification Office that no such delays will arise again in the future. As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 169 of 2 May 2013, the Annual Reports will be laid before the Houses of Oireachtas as soon as possible after they have been received by my Department.
