Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 October 2017
81. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the State boards under the aegis of her Department which are subject to the provisions of the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44166/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe following agencies under the aegis of my Department are required to implement the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies:
- Enterprise Ireland;
- National Standards Authority of Ireland;
- The Personal Injuries Assessment Board;
- Health and Safety Authority;
- IDA Ireland;
- Science Foundation Ireland;
- Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC)must implement the code of practice although some of its compliance requirements are not applicable to the CCPC due to its corporate structure.
Microfinance Ireland is established as a company under the Microenterprise Loan Fund Act 2012 and is not an Agency of the Department in the traditional sense. Issues of corporate governance between it and DJEI are covered in a Service Level Agreement, dated 3 March 2017.
