Dormant Accounts legislation provides for an annual transfer by credit institutions and insurance undertakings of monies in dormant accounts into the Dormant Accounts Fund. Since the establishment of the Fund in May 2003, a total of €373.2 million has been transferred, of which €112.6 million has been reclaimed. At this juncture, it is difficult to estimate what the inflows to the Fund will be in 2007 and subsequent years.
