[31755/14]
View answerIn accordance with the VHI Acts, the VHI is required to submit its Annual Report and Accounts to the Minister, and I am required to lay the Annual Report and Accounts before the Houses of the Oireachtas. The relevant legislation does not make provision for a specific time frame for so laying the Annual Report and Accounts. I understand the VHI's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts will be submitted shortly. I will then make the relevant arrangements for them to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
