Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2022
58. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she has received an annual report and financial statements in respect of 2021 from Tourism Ireland; and when she expects the reports to be published. [36476/22]
View answerMy Department submits annual reports and accounts of all State bodies under its aegis to the Government, in advance of their being laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. In addition, it is standard practice that each body will publish their annual report and financial statement once the documents have been submitted and laid as outlined above.
The Department prepares the annual reports and accounts of bodies under its aegis for submission and laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas once the audit certificate is issued by the Comptroller and Auditor General and the financial statements/accounts are submitted to the Department. I understand that, as yet, the Comptroller and Auditor General has not completed its audit of Tourism Ireland's report and financial statements in respect of 2021.
