As the Deputy will be aware, State bodies are required to comply with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies, published by the Department of Finance. The Code was last updated in May 2009, and I can confirm to the Deputy that all State bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group have been provided with a copy of the updated Code.

My Department monitors the compliance of the relevant State bodies with the Code on an ongoing basis and where issues arise these are addressed. It may be noted that the Corporate Governance Division of my Department has developed a comprehensive checklist to assist relevant divisions across my Department in monitoring compliance levels with the Code.
