I propose to take Questions Nos. 221 to 223, inclusive, together.

The revised and updated Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies, published by the Department of Finance in May 2009, which contains the framework agreed by Government for the internal management and the internal and external reporting relationships of commercial and non-commercial State bodies was forwarded to all bodies under my Department's aegis.

Corporate Governance arrangements, including ongoing monitoring are overseen by the appropriate Line Divisions of my Department. This process is underway in respect of State Bodies under the aegis of my Department in the context of the Revised Code of Practice.
