The NESF has commissioned and published 34 Reports from 2000 to-date in 2009 and they are listed in the table below. Copies of reports are available in the Oireachtas Library as each NESF Report is laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas and further details are also available from the NESF website (www.nesf.ie). My function in respect of the NESF Reports is to present them to Government and not to monitor the implementation of their recommendations. Any questions in relation to the implementation of recommendations contained in NESF Reports should be put down to the relevant Minister. In the time available, it is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in relation to the full costs of these reports. However, the relevant information is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
