[6330/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are no funds held in reserve by my Department in commercial bank deposit accounts or in short term bank investments.
The statutory agencies under the remit of my Department include the Office of the Ombudsman for Children, the Family Support Agency, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and the National Educational Welfare Board. The banking facilities used by these bodies are an internal operational matter for each organisation and they have been individually requested to furnish the information directly to the Deputy.
