Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 February 2010
100 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Finance the State bodies, State boards and organisations funded by Departments; the full funding each body received for the financial years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8335/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are a great many State bodies, State boards and organisations funded by Government Departments, including some 112 non-commercial semi-state bodies (NCSSBs) operating under the aegis of the various Government Departments as well hospitals, universities and other third level institutions, health related bodies, just over 300 local and regional bodies and various ad-hoc and advisory bodies. It would not be practicable to set out full details of their Exchequer and other financing in the context of a single Parliamentary Question reply.
However, a comprehensive overview of the NCSSBs and their financing is set out each year in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV), which includes summary information in respect of the NCSSBs and more detailed "agency statements" in respect of many of them. The 2010 REV is due to be published tomorrow and I would refer the Deputy to that document for the relevant information in respect of 2009 and 2010.
