Questions (71)

Seán Fleming

Question:

71. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide a list of all contingent assets in her Department and in agencies under her Department where amounts can be owed but are not listed in the national accounts as an asset; if she will further provide a full breakdown of each category of contingent assets and the estimated amounts in the category; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34080/16]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

I wish to advise the Deputy that as my Department does not prepare accounts under the accruals convention, the question of recognition or accounting for contingent assets does not arise.
