Ceist:318 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the position regarding the disbursement plan of the Dormant Accounts Funds Disbursement Board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21347/03]
Written Answers. - Dormant Accounts Fund.
As the Deputy is aware, the Dormant Accounts Fund Disbursements Board is an independent statutory body, under the aegis of my Department, with responsibility for overseeing the disbursement of unclaimed moneys from the dormant accounts fund.
As required by legislation, the board presented its disbursement plan to me for approval this summer and following a detailed consideration of the plan, I recently approved it subject to a number of amendments.
I understand the board is currently advancing its consideration of the practical arrangements necessary to enable commencement of the implementation of the plan.
