Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 May 2013
602. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will set out in tabular form the names of all State owned or substantially State funded organisations under her Department whose latest accounts laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas are more than one year old, that is, relate to a period ending before May 2012 and more than two years old, that is, relate to a period ending before May 2011. [25017/13]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children. Gaisce also comes under the remit of my Department. With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001.
I have set out in tabular format below, the information as requested by the Deputy.
