Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 8, after line 40, to insert the following:“(4) The Authority shall, not later than 6 months after the dissolution day, prepare and submit to the Minister the final annual report of the dissolved body, and the Minister shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, cause a copy of the final annual report to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas.”.

Section 11 provides that final accounts shall be prepared and presented to the Minister. The amendment is to provide that, in addition to final accounts, a final annual report shall also be prepared no later than six months after the dissolution of the Railway Procurement Agency. This is in keeping with current policy and practice when dissolving State bodies.
