The Government Emigrant Services Advisory Committee; the Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group; the Audit Committee of the Department of Foreign Affairs; and The Board of the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange (the Fulbright Commission). The Fulbright Commission is financed jointly by the Irish and US Governments but it enjoys autonomy of management and administration in accordance with the Educational Exchange (Ireland and the United States of America) Act, 1991. The remaining bodies are advisory committees, the administrations of which are all serviced directly by my Department, and do not incur costs independent of my Department. The Deputy may wish to refer to PQ 42271/10 for recently provided details of monies owed to private firms by my Department.
