There are currently 10 State agencies financed by the Exchequer, the details of which are set out below. Any expenses incurred as a result of attendance at Board meetings are governed by the Travel and Subsistence Circulars issued by the Department of Finance and paid where appropriate. In relation to Boards and their members under my Department's remit, responsibility for the administration of these bodies, including attendance at Board meetings lies with the Chairperson in conjunction with the Board.
