The Guidelines for the Appraisal and Management of Capital Expenditure Proposals in the Public Sector, as amended by my Department's Value for Money Circular Letter of 26 January 2006, apply, as appropriate, to all semi-State bodies which are expected to ensure that best practice is applied in assessing the commercial viability of all major projects. The guidelines state that the Board of each State Company must satisfy itself annually that the company is in full compliance with the guidelines.
